Holly Beckham



Ko Poērua tōku maunga
Ko Te kirikiri tōku awa
Ko ngawha tōku marae
Ko E koro kia tutuki whare tupuna
Ko Ngātokimatawharua tōku waka
Ko Ngāti Rangi tōku hapu
Ko Ngāpuhi tōku iwi
Holly Beckham is one of the new generation of Māori wāhine in the New Zealand film and television industry. An aspiring documentary director, her kaupapa is to give voice to others.
Holly's first powerful documentary about addiction He Ara Anō has won numerous awards and been shown at festivals globally and in Aotearoa. It was created while a student at South Seas Film School.
Holly is proud of her Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Rangi heritage and knows that it is what makes her storytelling approach so strong. As a recovering addict who is 3 years clean she is ideally placed to tell the story of Mana Wāhine.
Today Holly's resume includes production work at Pango - independent Māori content creators across TV and digital - GreenstoneTV, and Attitude Pictures.
