Rewa Harre

Rewa Harre's work as camera operator and cinematographer encompasses documentary, short films, commercials, and a long run of dramas for the big and small screen. Harre has worked extensively with director Sima Urale — shooting her acclaimed short film O Tamaiti, and winning a Qantas Award in 2009 for Urale's debut feature, Apron Strings. Harre made his own feature debut back in 1998, when he shot romp I'll Make You Happy. He went on to Geoff Murphy's last dramatic feature, Spooked (2004) and a run of television work, including The Brokenwood Mysteries and One Lane Bridge. In 2021 he won an NZ TV award for The Gulf.

My most preferred director of photography is a wonderful man: Rewa Harre; [he] has the patience and peaceful nature of the Dalai Lama. Director Sima Urale
