Director | Founder
My name is Kennedy Faimanifo
I founded Manatoa during covid as a way to support a collective of like minded Tangata Moana Creatives through the pandemic. I whakapapa to Ngapuhi | Te Roroa on my mothers side and Saina | Iva on my Samoan side. Born and raised in South Auckland, Manurewa. Have my Bachelors in Animation & Masters in Design.
My experience in this industry sits at 16 years now. Working for a wide variety of studios and a portfolio working on feature films and animated tv shows that range all way back to Bro Town to Avatar: The way of the water. Amongst that freelancing, contracting for clients & government agencies.
All projects are lead by me as the creative lead and every project has a project manager assisting with the process. 90% of our artists are of Tangata Moana decent and artists are allocated based on the project requirements.
Our goal is to create more employment opportunities for Tangata Moana so that they may have more sustainable and rewarding futures.
