Award-winning film producer Chelsea Winstanley says the end of her marriage to Taika Waititi has helped her grow professionally and personally.
“I don’t need anyone else for me to be able to be happy, in control, or do what I want to do in the spaces that I love doing,” she tells Anika Moa in a new RNZ podcast.
Winstanley (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngai Te Rangi) has been one of the driving forces behind te reo Māori versions of popular Disney movies like Moana, Frozen and The Lion King. In 2022, she was appointed an officer of the Order of Merit for her contributions to the film industry and to Māori.
