Holly Beckham - Diploma in Film and TV Production

Holly Beckham graduated with a South Seas Diploma in Film and TV Production in 2020. Since then, she has released a film called ‘He Ara Anō’ – a documentary that reveals how a disconnection with wairua (spirituality) creates fertile ground for addiction to take hold of young wāhine (women).

While going through her own struggles, Holly was inspired to make a documentary about addiction. As director and producer of the film, she wanted to highlight the voices of wāhine toa in Aotearoa – giving them a platform to tell their stories of hope and strength to help others overcome addiction. 

The film was completed in December 2020 and has since received ten prestigious awards; including, Mokkho International Critics Choice Award, Halicarnassus Best First Time Director and the Sasee Best Student Short Film Award.
