Kete Aronui - Peter Burger

Television (Excerpts) – 2006

Drama and commercials director Peter Burger (Until Proven Innocent, Fish Skin Suit) is profiled in this episode from a bilingual Māori Television series about artists. In this extract, he traces the origins of his career to a “crazy little accident” in the form of drama lessons taken to correct a childhood lisp. His early aspirations to be an actor were soon eclipsed by a fascination with the process of directing. Making adverts provided him with a chance to develop and hone the storytelling skills he would apply to television and film.

What a great thing to be able to create a story like that, put all of this work in and actually affect people like the people in the audience are being affected around me.
– Peter Burger on how Once Were Warriors inspired him to become a director
