Taukafa Films

I named my film company after my dad (his middle name) because before these ideas became fiscal responsibilities with deadlines, they were just ideas we chatted about. Taukafa Films was created because I’ve been writing screenplays for over a decade, and it finally hit me in 2025 that I had to try to make one if I wanted any traction. I have a film in development that I will post here shortly, and the rest of the ideas swimming through my head are television shows. Below is a picture journey through snapshots, with a script page that encompasses an entire life in the span of a few moments.
