Micah Winiata: Director & Producer

Filmmaker Micah Winiata sits down with filmmaker Louis Bolton to discuss Micah's recent release TAIAO and the motivation behind the short film.⁠ Says Micah of TAIAO: "[The documentary] presents like a snapshot of a really unique time in my life; coming here, knowing my whakapapa, connecting back to New Zealand... it's quite a journey."⁠ Connection of two worlds is a theme throughout Micah's film, including the soundtrack. Listen out for the blend of taonga puoro with a modern synthesizer. You can watch TAIAO at Kaponga Pictures.
