“The unbridled enthusiasm of New Zealand crews always amazes me. One day they’ll be shooting a high-end commercial with all the bells and whistles. Next day, on set at sunrise to get the truck out for a first time director on a no name band music clip with no money, in the pouring rain ... all with the same 110% attitude.”
