Taika is an inspiration, especially to youth and NZ and indigenous or POC youth.
Art has helped me! I am not any of the above but it has helped in my grief with my son. Do painting

Honestly, I look up to him so much! Not only from the point of view of an aspiring director, but also from a human being's perspective. He's so humble, kind, creative, and hilarious all at once. He never fails to put a smile on my face and the work that he's created has inspired me in many ways. Keep up the wonderful work Taika :)
