DAVID BRECHIN-SMITH
producer
David established Te Wuruhi | Lean Dog to create content unique to Aotearoa, with a focus on bilingual projects.
His career spans the screen, museum, and education sectors. He’s won screenwriting awards, led the exhibition writing team at Te Papa, and teaches tertiary-level screen production.
Māui's Taonga Tales is a web series and book.
Te Papa Kaituhi Māori,
Ranea Aperahama (pictured here with David at the book launch), was instrumental in the success of the series. He played a critical role in its development and production - we couldn't have done it without him.
Te Papa Press published two books based on the web series: one in Māori, one in English. Both versions made the Storylines Notable Books List 2020, and the one in te reo Māori received Highly Commended at the 2020 MAPDA Awards.
