Based In New Zealand, Smasher is a line production operation that has been created to facilitate foreign productions seeking highly skilled operators for productions both here and the South Pacific. At the helm of Smasher are David Lethem and Claire Kelly who individually and collectively bring a wealth of film production experience garnered from NZ and the world over.

As a team, their talents compliment each other. 24 years in the business, Claire cut her teeth as planner in advertising crossing over to become a post house producer, then a producer/line producer at The Sweet Shop and freelance making hundreds of commercials here and across the globe. David on the other hand is highly celebrated AD. His extensive CV reads alike a who's who having worked with the likes of Frank Budgen, Chris Palmer, Daniel Barber, Traktor, David Lachappelle, Mehdi, Madonna, Tony Kay, Johnny Green and Michael Haussman to name a few.

Their deep understanding of what it takes to successfully produce offshore productions is coupled with a desire to create a service oriented, nurturing environment that works effortlessly for both agency and client.

In terms of location, New Zealand speaks for itself. It offers range and beauty and as Smasher Films will tell you, down here your quid goes further, the technicians are amazing and the casting net can be thrown either near or far in order to fit your budget.

Please feel free to get in touch with David or Claire.
