Eddie Page Productions

About

ABOUT US
Eddie Page Productions is a female-founded production company based across Tauranga and Rotorua. We’re three creatives who came to storytelling from a place of not quite fitting in – a bit weird, a bit unsure, searching for where we belonged. That shared experience is what connected us, and it’s still what drives the stories we tell.

Now, we make bold, funny, heartfelt and thought-provoking stories about identity, connection and community, because we know what it’s like to live without them, and how powerful it is to finally find them.
Our stories have bite, our humour has heart, and we’re not afraid to get a little uncomfortable if it means telling the truth.

Larissa Allen – Creative Producer, marketing strategist, actor and writer – brings projects to life with sharp instincts, business acumen, killer taste, and a schedule that slaps. Melissa Mae brings 45 years across film, television and theatre, producing and directing for platforms including TVNZ OnDemand and Māori Television. Sarah Oemcke, co-founder of the Bay of Plenty Screenwriters group and winner of the regional WIFT Award for Outstanding Female Filmmaker, is our story mechanic, with 35+ years and 30+ credits turning genre-bending ideas into shows that work.
Together, we cover every stage of production: development, funding, casting, production, marketing and distribution.

Recent work includes Pākehā, an Academy-qualifying Flickerfest selection, and The Weight of the Knife documentary, alongside a slate currently in development including Dot (NZOA-funded TV series), Cracken, Little Shiny Things, and Tuesday at Barry’s.

We’re committed to growing the screen industry in our own backyard, creating paid opportunities for creatives to work where they live, and mentoring the next generation of storytellers. We don’t just say we support local, we live it. And behind the creative chaos, we’re highly organised, deeply strategic, and known for getting sh*t done.

WHAT WE DO
Screen Production
From first idea to final cut, we produce, direct, write and act across corporate storytelling, short film, TV series, documentary and commercial work. Development, funding and grant applications, casting, crew, on-set management, post. We run the whole pipeline, or slot into wherever you need us most.

Local Production Support
We’re your local crew connection – production coordination, line producing, location scouting, cast and crew liaison, and on-the-ground problem-solving from people who actually live here and know the region. We’ll help you find the right people, the right places, and keep the whole thing running to budget and schedule.

Corporate Storytelling & Impact Campaigns
We bring screen-quality storytelling to brand films, corporate video, and impact/advocacy campaigns – with the strategic marketing chops to back it up. Content strategy, video production, PR and crisis comms, brand campaigns, and digital/social strategy, all built by people who understand the importance of balancing story with marketing.

Marketing & Communications
25+ years of strategic marketing experience backing everything we make: annual marketing plans, event management, SEO and digital advertising, EDM and social campaigns, and full brand management, because a great story only matters if people actually see it.
