Geoffrey Cawthorn
Geoffrey Cawthorn has directed drama and documentary on both sides of the Tasman, including crime (Lawless - Beyond Justice), soap (Shortland Street), fantasy (Maddigan’s Quest) and award-winning shorts (Philosophy). His documentary work often reflects Cawthorn’s musical leanings, including pieces on everything from classical and jazz to Kiwi love songs.
I get a lot of joy out of walking on set and being involved with everyone to realise a scene. It’s great when it works ... like hearing good music, when everything comes together. Geoffrey Cawthorn
