While making his mark as a professional skier, Canadian-born Mathurin Molgat began displaying his skills in front of the camera. After meeting Kiwi director Michael Firth, he ended up co-starring in Firth's 1987 movie The Leading Edge, as an adventurer in Aotearoa. Since then Molgat has lent his outdoor skills to films and 30+ commercials. In 2012 he directed his own film: the much travelled environmental documentary Song of the Kauri. Long based in Queenstown, Mathurin has also promoted Queenstown overseas as a skiing and filming location. He is co-owner of essential oils company Wilding & Co.
