Ken was a founding force in our film industry, I feel truly honoured to have plotted, schemed and journeyed alongside him through many adventures - each one coloured by his worldly wisdom, natural brilliance and unique spirit. A true legend and a colourful pirate - some of us live one life, but Ken lived many. He shines on in his Whanau what an incredible legacy he leaves behind. With deep repect and aroha. Phil
