The Glorious Wairoa Māori Film Festival 2026?

02/06/2026

GLORIOUS EVENTS: We helped deliver this year’s Wairoa Maori Film Festival - providing transportation, manaakitanga/hospitality and as an Award sponsor. Our Glorious PUTI - short film also screened as part of the festival.

Ngā mihi to our Glorious partner ‘Intrepid Travel’ for the use of two vehicles to transport filmmakers, VIPs and volunteers from Auckland to Wairoa/Nuhaka and back. Ama got off the plane from Brisbane and after a short rest drove to Wairoa (her first time in the region). We named our buses “Shaka” and “ ” after 2 special films we watched.

E mihi ana Ngā Hua o Morere-Morere Hot Pools for allowing our volunteers to come for a soak outside of your normal opening hours.

Most importantly, we mihi to Leo Koziol for the opportunity to be involved in the film festival again, with gratitude to our hosts Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa, Rakaipaaka and a pīki pakipaki for our volunteers. 👏🏽 Angelina, Jourdene, Raniera & Tammy… We had a small but gloriously mighty team this year. We couldn’t have done it without you and we thank you all for heeding our call!

Arohanui to all the indigenous creatives for your films and ka nui te mihi to all the new friends we made from around Aotearoa and across the world! 🌏

GLORIOUS PUBLICITY. Our Glorious Publicity campaign featuring Ama promoting the South SideQueens of Comedy debut at the NZ International Comedy Festival is now complete and had extensive reach that expanded across Auckland, NZ and the Pacific - covering print, broadcast (radio and television) and social media. Thanks to all of our media contacts that helped us to tell her story and our partners at Elephant Publicity for collaborating.

Print:
Woman’s Day NZ ✅
Samoa Observer ✅

TV:
TVNZ’s Tangata Pasifika ✅

Radio:
531pi’s Pacific Days ✅
Flava Breakfast ✅
Niu FM’s The Morning Shack ✅
RNZ’s Culture 101 with Perlina Lau ✅
Radio Waatea with Dale Husband ✅

This campaign cut across Pacific and “mainstream” media and generated exposure that would have cost thousands of dollars in advertising spend. The organic social reach helped to build Ama and the Queens’ brand without having an ad budget.

Thank you for clicking on the links, listening to, watching and engaging in the campaign.

If you have a story worth telling, Louisa is one of the few (if only?) Māori & Pasifika publicists working in Aotearoa NZ. Get in touch via DM for a quote for your next media campaign.

Our busy summer NZ touring season is over but the Glorious storytelling & indigenous knowledge sharing continues. Glorious Inc. is teaming up with Intrepid Travel to offer Māori language & culture courses in Auckland this month. For the cost of a donation to the Intrepid Foundation, you’ll learn basic Māori language pronunciation, how to introduce yourself and all the important information you need to know as someone that lives in Aotearoa NZ. Taught by our little sister Angel - you know she will make it fun and interactive. Email Intrepid to register. In person ONLY!

Ama Mosese had to take time out to focus on her health but we are so glad for early detection and her skilled medical team. So proud of you, Ama, and looking forward to focusing on our Glorious goals again! 🌈🌺😉
