A Māori-led film company telling stories rooted in whenua, reo and the long memory of place — where the land is never a backdrop, but a character of its own.
Rangi Point sits on the Hokianga — the whenua our stories return to. We take the name seriously: cultural integrity here is structural, not decorative. Te reo and tikanga shape the work from the first page of the script, not as a finishing layer.
We make te reo Māori and English work across short film and feature — drama drawn from whakapapa, from landscape, and from the people who carry both. The films are slow-burning, image-led, and unafraid of the dark.
A gifted young Māori warrior is sent to Rome to become the first of his people ordained a Catholic priest — only to find that the price of leading the Church may be the erasure of everything he already is.
Brad, a hard-edged small-town coach with a troubled past, drives his underdog Dunedin youth side against the odds — a jealous rival's sabotage, biased whistles, punishing road trips — while his assistant Matt grieves his father and Brad's own mother fades. He learns that real success reaches well beyond the touchline.
A te reo Māori western drawn from family history and reset in Waiohau — performed in the local Waiohau dialect with actors from the rohe. A lone reckoning, shot from dusk into dark.
A short film rooted in the Hokianga — the harbour country where Rangi Point Pictures takes its name.
A feature where the landscape plays the seventh character — an Aotearoa story built for the festival stage, equal parts intimacy and open country.
