Thanks for stopping by!

I first picked up a camera at eight years old and I haven’t put it down since. Creativity is my never-ending itch, and I find great joy and purpose in collaborating to turn vision into impact.

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to work across media and communications, honing skills in filming, editing, writing, and creative development. I’ve worked for production companies like Warner Bros TV and Beach House Pictures, worked in academic institutions, and taken on a variety of freelance projects all with the goal of creating content that informs, inspires, and connects. I’ve also made several short films for festivals, some of which you’ll find nestled into my portfolio.

I recently graduated as a Sir Edmund Hillary Scholar from the University of Waikato with a Bachelor of Arts in Screen and Media Studies. Alongside three industry internships, this experience has prepared me to step confidently into the creative sector.

So if you’re looking for someone who can help turn ideas into meaningful content, or just want to chat about a project, drop me a line at:  info@melikalolaki.com. I’d love to hear from you!
