Busker Documentary
Busker is a documentary that I directed with the help of my amazing crew!
The production highlights and showcases the accomplished and varied street performers of Wellington.

Emphasising the need for performers to contribute their unique gift to society, the film features performances and highlights music in an effort to acknowledge and give back to the busker community, endorsing their unique and colourful contribution to Wellington as a cultural capital.
Busker was featured on the Wellington Live Facebook page where it was viewed over 40,000 times.
