Born in Tasmania, Australia, raised in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, Antoinette left university for a career in book publishing that lasted 20 years. A journey of exploration into personal and global health led her to transition to work in an organic market garden, complete her Permaculture Design Certificate, and eventually to participate in, in 2015, in the documentary film “A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity”, during which she saw the extraordinary capacity of film to educate and inspire. She teamed up with Jordan Osmond in Happen Films that year and she brought her production and story-editing skills over from the book industry to research, write and produce their films. She lives in a tiny house on wheels in the Moutere Hills, at the top of Aotearoa’s South Island, where she spends most of her spare time in the garden, in front of a movie, or reading a book.
