New Zealand director Zoe McIntosh signs with Rabbit for representation in Australia

Rabbit has announced the signing of award winning Kiwi director Zoe McIntosh.

McIntosh is a gifted filmmaker. She has an innate ability to develop a connection with actors as well as real people and always brings out their best, most natural performances.

A graduate of the illustrious Fine Arts degree at Canterbury University, Christchurch, McIntosh went on to write and direct feature-film documentary ‘Lost in Wonderland’, based on one man’s search for justice and identity. The film received international acclaim and was awarded Best Documentary at the NZ Film & TV Awards in 2010.

She continued her run of awards in 2010 when her first short film ‘Day Trip’ was selected for Tribeca Film Festival in New York City and was a finalist for Best Short Film at the 2010 NZ Film & TV Awards. McIntosh was also awarded the 2011 SPADA New Filmmaker of the year.

Since then, McIntosh’s career as a commercial director has taken off. She has completed commercials for Cadbury, Sky TV and YWCA, which earned her the status of Young Director of the Year at Cannes in 2013.

Says McIntosh: “I’m delighted to be joining forces with the Rabbit team and look forward to creating many outstanding commercials with them.”

Says Lucas Jenner, executive producer, Rabbit: “We are very excited about having Zoe on board. She has a unique ability of connecting with people and finding the truth in all the various genres that she can work within. She is also a great person who loves to have fun – a pre requisite for all Rabbit folk.”

McIntosh will continue to be represented by Thick as Thieves in New Zealand.
