🎬 Official Selection Announcement: Spirit of the West is heading to the big screen again at the Third Culture Film Festival in Tauranga (9–15 March).

Spirit of the West is a cinematic journey into the wild heart of New Zealand’s West Coast — where rugged landscapes, resilient communities, and the legendary Old Ghost Ultra collide to tell a powerful story of endurance, connection, and belonging.

Through breathtaking imagery and deeply human stories, the film explores how a remote trail race became something far bigger than sport.

🎬 Catch it on the big screen at Third Culture Film Festival.
🎟 Tickets available via the festival website. - https://www.tcff.online/event-list

A big thank you to the festival team for selecting the film — and wishing everyone attending an inspiring week of cinema and storytelling.

This film would not exist without the support of The Mōkihinui-Lyell Backcountry Trust and the incredible people behind it. If you care about wild places and the trails that connect us to them, go check out the amazing work they’re doing.

If you love adventure, wild landscapes, and stories of human resilience, this one’s for you.

By hand, with heart and a whole lot of the spirit you will find in the the West Coast of New Zealand.

🎥 Capturing authentic stories is never just about the camera — it’s about trust.
Through this project for the NZFAP and NZFAP Plus programmes, we had the privilege of filming incredible farmers and sharing how these initiatives are making a real difference on the ground.
Our focus was on creating an environment where people felt at ease to speak openly and naturally. Their passion and pride shine through — and it’s a reminder of how powerful a simple, well-told story can be.
Big thanks to everyone who shared their time and journey with us.
