Services
Four disciplines. One bespoke heritage.
Every project is as distinct as the subject it honours. Bricolage operates as a concierge service, guiding you through a seamless creative process. Each project is custom-built from our four core disciplines.
01 — Cinematic Film
Real stories in motion
We craft unique narratives using contemporary interviews and personal archives. Our approach brings the production values of editorial long-form to private stories: considered cinematography, sound design that carries emotion, and an edit that honours nuance.
What’s included
- Pre-production consultation & narrative planning
- On-location filming with professional crew
- Interview direction & archival footage integration
- Colour grading, sound design, and final master
- Delivered in multiple formats (4K archival, web, streaming)
Who it’s for
Families, individuals and organisations marking a milestone, honouring a legacy, or documenting a body of work.
What is made
From a 5-minute portrait to multiple episodes or a 90-minute feature — format and length follow your story.
From NZ$8,000. Every film is custom-scoped.

The voice, preserved.

See our recent work →Intimate, podcast-style recordings that capture the nuance of voice and the spirit of storytelling. Shaped by the interviewer's craft, engineered with broadcast-grade audio, and arranged so that decades from now the next generation can learn, feel and relate.
What’s included
- Guided interview sessions (in person)
- Broadcast-grade recording & post-production
- Chaptered audio master files
- Private online hosting accessible anywhere
Who it’s for
Anyone with a story better told in conversation: a grandparent recalling a formative decade, a founder documenting an origin, a family marking a shared history.
What is made
From a single recorded conversation to a chaptered oral biography — shaped by how much you want to capture.
From NZ$1,000. Every engagement is custom-scoped.
Talk to us about Oral History03 — Print
Something tangible. Something permanent.

What If Not Now — Aki von Roy →A curatorial and editorial service for those with material — essays, photographs, artwork, journals, recipes — who want to see it shaped into a book. Our craft is in the assembly: what goes where, in what order, and how it reads. We ghost-write when needed; more often, we work with what you've already made.
What’s included
- Curation and editorial sequencing of existing writing, imagery, or artwork
- Archival photo and artwork digitisation
- Writing, editing and ghostwriting (where desired)
- Editorial design, typesetting, and layout
- Print production: softcover, paperback, and hardback editions
Who it’s for
Artists, photographers, chefs and families with material already in hand — drawings, letters, journals, recipes, essays — who want it transformed into something tangible.
What is made
A 40-page zine, a 120-page photo book, or a 220-page hardback. Private editions from 3 copies. Format follows the material.
From NZ$2,000. Every book is custom-scoped.

No two projects share a brief — your project may draw on one discipline or all four. After an initial conversation, we propose a scope that matches your ambition and your budget.
