Sonja de Friez
Director, Reporter
Reporter turned director Sonja de Friez made her mark filing stories on health and the arts, during six years at TV3. In the same period she began directing, and helmed documentaries about Margaret Mahy and painter Grahame Sydney. These days de Friez makes information-based online content, mainly for Government departments — and also reviews books for RNZ National’s Nine to Noon Programme.
