Pacific Films

Falconer left to pursue a career in China and the company changed its name to Pacific Film Productions Ltd.

The first feature film was Broken Barrier (1952), which O'Shea produced and directed with Roger Mirams.

In 1960, the company had an office in Courtenay Place, Wellington, and was the New Zealand representative for British Movietone News and Fox Australian Movietone News.

The facility was in Kilbirnie, with the office in Lower Hutt, and the company also represented Hearst Metrotone News and BBC Television.

Pacific Films produced scores of road safety dramas, rugby tests, documentaries and commercials (O’Shea).
