In a world where everything appears to take place in an urban dimension, where technology and science represent a basic component in our lives, more and more people are seeking refuge in still uncontaminated areas of the globe, far from everything and everyone. Conversing with Aotearoa/New Zealand, a refreshing mixture of animation and documentary style, gives voice to this strongly felt yet irrational need through the testimonies of New Zealanders who tell of their unique tie to the land.

Director's Notes
«My animation emphasizes the integration of digital and traditional mediums and the dialogue between content and technique. I have worked with sand, paint on glass, cut-outs and hand-drawn mediums leading up to this, my 5th film. I am currently exploring how drawn images can imaginatively compliment documented reality. Animated documentaries are unique in that though they remain rooted in real people and situations, they transcend the literal representation of live action filmmaking Through the animator's artistic interpretation, the viewer experiences a new level of emotional and symbolic understanding».
