Tana Tu Productions

Tena koutou katoa. E mihi ana ahau i te Matua nui i te Rangi. Ko Mahuhu ki te Rangi te waka. Ko Ngati Whatua raua ko Te Roroa nga iwi. Ko Taita raua ko Waikaraka nga marae. Ko Maunganui te maunga. Ko Kaihu te awa. Ko Waipoua te ngahere. Ko Omamari te moana. Ko Raroa toku Papa. Ko Betty toku Mama. Ko Penehamine Netana-Patuawa taku ingoa. No reira tena koutou tena koutou tena no tatou katoa.


Kia-ora everyone. Well my name is Penehamine Netana-Patuawa (formerly known as Benjamin Nathan). Throughout the years I have been involved in different areas of the Creative Arts. Now though, my main focus is film-making. I have just written the first draft of a film script called, 'Te Whakapouri...The Darkening', which I intend to make and direct. It will be my first feature film and I am looking forward to the challenge of bringing my dream into reality. I know it is going to take a lot of hard work, effort and determination to do so. But, I am a extremely motivated and focused man and am 100% confident it will happen. For one thing I have found in everything I have done in my life, that once a person fully commits to any type of creative enterprise...Providence brings resources, tautoko and help to that person which he never dreamed possible.
So that is where I am at this stage. If anyone out there is interested in what I am doing, feel free to send me a email and say hi. Kia-ora.
