Craig Parkes

After a course in Communication and Media Studies at Auckland University of Technology, Craig Parkes got screen experience producing music videos for Bulletproof and Slipping Tongue. He also produced gangster fairytale short Big Bad Wolves (2005). Since then Parkes has amassed credits for company Brown Sugar Apple Grunt Productions  — including supervising the post-production of feature Waru and TV shows This is Piki and Find Me a Māori Bride. In 2013 he produced horror movie Ghost Bride, directed by David Blyth. Parkes is developing other screen projects, though company SPV Films.

For Ghost Bride, Blyth was also quick to praise emerging producer, Craig Parkes, whose post-production background has been a great help in getting Ghost Bride into the international arena, given the increasingly technically complex deliverables required in various territories.
