We are a group of Wellington-based videographers and researchers who have combined resources to create a definitive documentary about the history and popularity of professional wrestling in New Zealand.
Adam Simpson (Director) is a freelance editor and short film-maker who has also edited two feature-length documentaries. He has been a Wellington 48 Hours Competition finalist three times and last year won third place for his short film 'resignation'. Adam's interest in professional wrestling goes back to the late 1980s watching American wrestling on television and through that he discovered a long Kiwi wrestling history which is all too quickly being lost.
Shanan Gough (Researcher/Interviewer) has been a wrestling fan since the age of 8 and has been interested in New Zealand professional wrestling almost as long. In 2006 he completed a Master of Entrepreneurship focusing on the development of the local wrestling scene for his thesis and is currently in the early stages of a Postgraduate Diploma on the history of wrestling in this country.
Mark Hutchings (Producer) has over ten years experience in the television industry. He has worked in the past as a freelance camera operator, editor and director. Although he was not initially a fan of professional wrestling he now considers it as both a sport and entertainment - bursting with great stories, interesting individuals and with a colourful fascinating background.
