PRODUCER

I am of Cook Island and Fijian Indian descent and my role as a producer. It is hectic at times and requires a lot of organisation and commitment but other than that I find it to be a privilege because I get to work with a lot of new people.

DIRECTOR

I am a Year 13 student. I was born and raised in South Auckland. I enjoy being involved in my community and connecting with our youth. When I have free time, I enjoy listening to RnB or Lo-fi, playing video games, trying out new food and watching shows & movies.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

The chaos unit of Arotahi TV brings you the most bombastic, fun filled experience for all to enjoy. Whether online or real life, I live to bring joy everywhere to everyone! Fijian-Indian background says “to become doctor”, but that can wait for now. After all, the show must go on!

ANCHOR

I am a Kiwi-Cambodian student at Aorere College who was born and raised in the heart of South Auckland. I love digital design and using my creativity to bring shared visions to life! In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, doing conservation work, and watching thriller shows on Netflix.

ANCHOR

Don’t really know what I’m doing on this site so here goes nothing I guess…18, 6’1 Samoan/Maori looking for a fun time. What can I say? I’ve loved lost and had my heart ripped out more times than I can count but that’s life I guess. When I'm not anchoring I enjoy long walks on the beach and hanging with friends.

SEGMENT DIRECTOR & EDITOR

I am a 17 year old Samoan, who was born and raised in South Auckland, New Zealand. I am currently in my last year of high school at Aorere College. I enjoy taking photographs and listening to music. I also love hearing spoken word pieces by Pasifika poets.

REPORTER

AYOOOO What's up to whoever is reading I’m the one and only Joseph in the 2022 Aorere Film Academy (don’t forget the Ngaruhe-Leefe my last name). I love to eat, sleep and all that good stuff like play video games, watch anime, and I LOVE to skate. See you around ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

REPORTER

Talofa Lava. I’m a Samoan student currently studying at Aorere College in my final year. I was born and raised in South Auckland, New Zealand. My hobbies are taking photos of beautiful views, reading, writing, listening to music and anime.

REPORTER

BUSINESS MANAGER & REPORTER

Born and raised in South Auckland, New Zealand. I am currently attending Aorere College and I am one of the 31 prefects for this school. When I am not handling business for Arotahi you would usually find me either in the kitchen cooking something or in my room sleeping.

SENIOR EDITOR

I am a 17-year-old Pakistani who was born and lived in New Zealand ever since. I like art, digital tech and simply expressing my creativity in many ways. Sometimes, it takes me all day to get nothing done. But when it comes to assessments, you bet I will hand it in 5 seconds before 11:59 p.m.

WRITER/RESEARCHER

I am always on social media or watching K-dramas, Thai dramas or Chinese dramas. I also love to read fiction novels.

SOUND/CAMERA TECHNICIAN & EDITOR

I am a Cook Island and Niue student at AO, same as the crew, born and raised in South Auckland. I like watching movies that leave you wondering after it’s finished and when I’m not putting my blood, sweat and tears into AFA, I’m blasting music and online window-shopping :P

SENIOR TECHNICIAN & CAMERA OPERATOR

There is no space in the world for ordinary things, so everything you do should be extra from the ordinary, which is precisely what I’m doing on Arotahi; when I’m not working on mind-blowing Arotahi projects, I’m probably stuffing my face with food, laughing at hilarious memes or dead asleep.

CAMERA OPERATOR

I am currently a year 12 student. I was born in Cambodia and moved to New Zealand in 2016. I enjoy novels, dramas, horror movies and trying new food. My sense of humour is pretty good too. Want to hear a construction joke? ……. I’m still working on it. - reddit
