Abi King-Jones

Abi was born in 1977 - in Rotorua, New Zealand.
She spent five years in Auckland training in film and television - gaining a Certificate in Film and Television Production from Unitec School of Performance and Screen Arts, and a Bachelor of Arts in Film, Television and Media Studies from the University of Auckland. In her first year at Unitec she was awarded the faculty prize - in her second year she majored in directing. She received further scholarships and prizes whilst at university.
As a student she made numerous short dramatic films and documentaries - a couple of which garnered awards and nominations at the AUSA Student Film Festivals. This work has also been screened on Triangle TV, the Sundance Channel and at the Wellington Fringe Festival.
During her final years at university, Abi worked at Juice TV - Sky Television's 24hr music TV channel - as a presentation director.
Since graduating and moving to Wellington, Abi has worked in film (as a casting assistant on Aidiko Insane - Kahukura Productions, and in continuity - Two Cars, One Night - Defender Films) and continued to dabble in acting (Special Filter Bats Theatre 2003, Cracker WPAC 2003, Cleopatra Jones Sandwiches 2005, and various film and television extra work). In 2002 her full-length play A Room That Echoes was produced as part of the Young and Hungry season at Bats theatre. Abi is developing an original feature film screenplay which she plans to direct.
Te Whanau o Aotearoa - Caretakers of the Land was Abi's feature documentary debut. Her credits for the film are as follows: co-director, co-producer, co-editor and music supervisor. In 2006 CutCutCut completed their second feature documentary The Last Resort. Abi is credited as co-director, co-producer and co-editor.

He has written a feature length, dramatic script that is currently at the second draft stage.
His first documentary, Findrs Weeprs, screened at the 2002 Wellington Fringe Film Festival to a positive reception. The Capital Times ran a story on the unique way in which the series of events in the film unwound.

He also played Peter in the Gone Fishing episode of Revelations produced by Cloud 9 Entertainment.
In September of 2002, Errol picked up a camera for the first time to shoot his debut feature documentary Te Whanau o Aotearoa - Caretakers of the Land. For the film, Errol is credited as follows: co-director, co-producer, co-editor, photography and sound.
