Steve La Hood

A New Zealander of Lebanese descent, Steve La Hood joined TVNZ in the early 70s. He went on to direct on everything from Close to Home and Shortland Street, to an acclaimed documentary on Bruno Lawrence. He also produced The Marching Girls (1987), one of the first dramas to highlight contemporary women characters on NZ television. La Hood now creates museum exhibitions at company Story Inc. 

There’s something about the green of this place, the smell of it – I guess because I was born here. I can do all the things that give me creative fulfilment in this country and make a living at it. Steve La Hood in North and South
