In Sumner

Sumner is a seaside village at the foot of the Port Hills, with a sandy beach, Cave Rock and an esplanade lined with cafes. It has a relaxed beach-town feel only a short drive from the city.

The beach, Cave Rock, the esplanade and the Port Hills behind give classic Christchurch seaside looks.

Billie travels to Sumner for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

Our work

The key art for Two Wheels, Billie’s own short film, shows the same eye for a single frame.
