Kent Belcher grew up on Auckland’s North Shore as a 1990s surf skate punk. He started his film career fresh out of school at 17, beginning at the bottom and working his way up through the camera department ranks to become a cinematographer. His recent foray into directing marks a significant milestone in his career, reflecting his passion for storytelling. When he’s not working, you’ll most likely find him surfing on Auckland’s west coast or on Aotea Great Barrier Island with his 12-year-old twins.
