Loading Docs 2015 - Kusuda
Web (Full Length) – 2015
Stress, a certain degree of stress, is always positive ... maybe to human beings as well.– Winemaker Hiro Kusuda
Our filmmaking process very much mirrored the experience you see on film. Getting our entire crew to the Wairarapa on short notice, to then shoot in heavy rain and strong winds was challenging, but like Hiro, we had to give in to the weather and let it lead our process.– Directors Amber Easby and Henry Oliver, on the Loading Docs website
Everyone thought I was crazy.– Hiro Kusuda on his decision to quit his job at as diplomat to make wine, in a 2009 interview with Jancis Robinson
