Happen Films
We make solutions-focused documentaries that help guide us back into harmony with the rest of nature; that inspire people to develop healing ways of living; that educate, support, and empower. Stories that make things Happen!
About
Welcome to the Happen Films Collective!
This is where you can find out about the film projects we have underway, and where you can contribute to making them Happen by becoming part of our campaign for Community Supported Filmmaking.
If you're not familiar with our work, you might like to visit our website to learn more about us. We're a small production company based in Aotearoa New Zealand making high-impact documentary films. We'd love to share our work with you.
If you're already a keen supporter, then thanks for making your way here!

There's also an option to contribute to Happen Films itself if you can't decide on your favourite upcoming project :)
