![]() ![]() What was the inspiration behind the making of your film? This is the first film I had the honour of directing. VAKA was a student film for our Bachelor of Creative Media Production degree at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand. How did you start making films and what was the first film project you worked on? It was our pleasure to interview her regarding the making of her documentary and her work as a filmmaker. She later developed a passion for documentary filmmaking, indigenous storytelling, and sound design. Kelly Moneymaker was a singer-songwriter since she was eleven. Vaka was an official selection of many film festivals in the past year. Tokelau's resilience in their daily response to the climate crisis exemplifies how they are leading by example. Their coral island atolls contribute a minimal amount of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet they are the first to be impacted by climate change. Tokelau was the first nation to aim for 100% of its electricity to be generated from solar as a result of the New Zealand funded Tokelau Renewable Energy Project in 2012. VAKA is a short documentary about the energy and resilience of the Tokelauan people as they weave their customary-wisdom regarding the environment with modern eco-technologies to respond to climate change.
