Biography
As a teenager in the early 1980s, Rewa Harre jumpstarted his filmmaking career when he turned his family home into a haunted house. The family's big old property in Oratia on the Western edge of Auckland made for a perfect location for a short film, "surrounded by orchards and fruit sheds". Harre's film The Ghost of Albion Vale won the annual filmmaking competition on beloved youth show Spot On. With the first of many awards under his belt, Harre left school knowing what he wanted to do: "work in the film industry, and train myself up as a cameraman".
