Natsuki (Suki) Arai
I have been working in the New Zealand film industry since 2017, beginning as a camera trainee and progressing to 2nd AC before specializing in focus pulling in 2019. My experience spans a diverse range of projects, including commercials, dramas, documentaries, and television, teaching me to be adaptable and to contribute effectively to each production. In 2024, I spent six months in Tokyo, Japan, working in the commercial and drama space, where I gained valuable skills in communication and insight into the workflow of Japanese camera departments. Being bilingual in English and Japanese allows me to integrate seamlessly into any team or production.
