Ivan brings a collaborative and holistic approach to the craft of visual storytelling, which is grounded in performance and tone. He firmly believes that comedy and pathos are the best ways to connect with an audience. Mix all this with a brain whose processor seems to be on the latest update before anyone else's. He's charming, irreverent and humble, one of the best humans we know.
In his spare time, he can often be seen being dragged along the streets of Auckland by his oversized dog, Rufus, or on a culinary adventure seated at a Formica table.
Top marks for - comedy, emotional connection, performance, art intensive and technical executions.

Ivan’s collaborative and holistic approach to storytelling is exactly what makes a project stand out. In film, as in health, having the latest "processor update" gives you a massive edge. I’ve been reading about how NFL athletes use advanced science to accelerate their healing on https://ways2well.com/blog/acl-tear-nfl-recovery-time-accelerate-healing-with-ways2well. It’s inspiring to see how technical precision can help us recover faster and get back to our creative craft.
