No Te Whare Tapu o Nga Puhi me Ngati Kahu ki Whangaroa

Raised on the farm, and taught with Aroha and respect, I was a hori with a story. After kura, I found myself on a doorstep to a creative pathway, and since, I have connected deeply with so many. Laughing, crying, connecting, Hongi with an immense amount of pressure on our noses just to make sure you get all the Mauri in. Sincerely, creativity is my thing, and my art is my Taonga to you.

After completing his studies, he was cast in a number of theatre productions ‘2080’ directed by Katie Wolfe, ‘The Travelling Squirrel’ directed by Susan Wilson, ‘All Our Sons’ directed by Nathaniel Lees and Paramount Productions motion picture ‘Ghost in the Shell’ directed by Rupert Saunders.

Erroll recently gained funding to create his own short-film ‘Tuakana’ through the Māoriland Productions and is in the process of writing a contrasting comedy series called ‘BOTZ’.

Erroll has recently secured a role among the M3 team teaching children in pre-school, primary school and intermediate the power of Māori pūrakau, movement and mindfulness.

He uri ahau no Ngati Raukawa ki te tonga toku Iwi, Ngati Kapumanawawhiti toku hapu.

I trained at the ‘NZ Film and Televsion School’ to begin my career as a professional filmmaker. After directing my own film scripts, I figured I needed to diversify my knowledge and skill set as a director in order to articulate effective communication with actors better. The law of attraction works in the universe as I met Sara Wiseman on a feature film ‘Human Traces’ who serendipitously was looking for someone to begin training at ‘The Actor’s Program’ 2016. In Tāmaki Makaurau I began training as a professional and now working actor, in Kathryn Rawling’s agency. For 5 years I have co-created with a range of NZ and international artists for film/writing and theatrical works.

In 2018 I was awarded Creative New Zealand’s ‘Nga Manu Pirere’ award for best emerging Maori artist.
