Hi, I’m Finn Lloyd…

Back in 2010, a friend came to visit with an idea, we pull out my parent’s camera and make a little ‘parkour’ video. It is absolutely awful and I would never share it today, but it truly sparked a love for creating video. 16 years later, at the age of 26 I’ve created hundreds of videos, captured many music videos and live performances and worked as a cinematographer on a feature film.

It was not until I attended the NZ film school in 2019 that I truly unlocked my creativity in this industry. Being surrounded by such supportive, open minded film-makers allowed me to fumble through the first narrative projects and scripts.

Music is a passion that threads its way through every project I embark on. Whether that is filming other people on stage, or creating our own with my bandmates. I always pride myself on selecting the perfect music to match any video and I obsess about audio recording; sometimes more than the filming itself.

Stylistically I’m inspired by older film-makers. The first movie I fell in love with was actually ‘Fully Flared,’ a skateboarding film directed by Spike Jonze before he entered the world of narrative film. I adore films with quirky characters, a bit of humour and the ones that move slow enough to settle into a fictional world. You can see some of my absolute favorites listed down to the right…

No matter the project, my desire to do things different and better than I’ve ever done them before is truly insatiable.
