Company will develop two features and a detective series.
Taika Waititi and Carthew Neal’s New Zealand production company Piki Films is launching three projects with Māori writers, focusing on stories about the effects of colonisation.
The company will work on two feature films and a TV series, with Neal heading development alongside producer Morgan Waru, who has taken a full-time position at the company.
Waititi and Neal’s specific roles on each project are still to be determined; they have previously had producer or executive producer credits on Piki titles which Waititi did not direct, such as 2018’s The Breaker Upperers.

Director Chen Kaige is one of China’s most prominent and influential directors. Born Chen Aige in Beijing, he was the son of noted director Chen Huaiai, who directed a number of popular films during the 1950s and 1960s. He is also one of the central figures of the China’s Fifth Generation of filmmakers. These are the bunch who have gone through some of the most tumultuous time in China’s modern history: the chaotic Cultural Revolution, Great Famine, and some even joined the notorious Red Guard, where Chen once publicly denounced his own father.
He debuted with “Yellow Earth”. A visually impressive propaganda film that not many wanted to watch, but captured the attention of producer Hsu Feng (a veteran Taiwanese actress herself). Hence, they collaborated their next effort, “Farewell to My Concubine” (霸王别姬 ，1992). Perhaps this is the Chinese film most well-known to the Western audience.
