Lala Rolls

Director, Editor

Fijian-born director and editor Lala Rolls has made short films, music videos and documentaries (Tupaia's EndeavourChildren of the Migration). Much of her work explores Polynesian and Māori culture. Rolls has gone on location throughout the Pacific Islands; her films have been invited to festivals in New Zealand and overseas.

I'm privileged to have gone into the communities and countries and lives of people that I would not normally have access to. I work hard to tell people's stories with respect and with craft. Lala Rolls
