RIP Lee Tamahori. Film & TV director. Tawa boy.  Visionary. Someone who made things happen.

Fudge. 

Didn’t suit a dress tbh, but bloody wore it anyway. 

Legend. 

Was involved in the 80s stuff too I think. Came a Hot Friday, Goodbye Pork Pie, etc etc

Nope. Was too busy making TV advts then. First film he directed was Once Were Warriors. Then Hollywood ...

Correction: you're right, he was a boom operator for Geoff Murphy...
