Collection: Mackai Sharp
Mackai Sharp is a Queer Maōri-Canadian Filmmaker, Creative Dir, and Multimedia Artist. Raised on Vancouver island (on unceded K’omoks territory), Mackai has been filmmaking and creating since he was 8 years old, often fostering and researching his own arts education as no formal programs would accept him to study due to his early age.
Mackai likes to confront his problems head on, using his preferred digital mediums as a space to tear apart existential ideas of self, community, interpersonal relationships and lived experiences. With these pieces, he makes work that tells a story he couldn’t put into words.
Since graduating from highschool last year, his films have been awarded across North America, Europe & Asia. Adjacent to filmmaking, Mackai is a published photographer working in both creative and journalistic photography. His intentions are to continue making art, films & friends; exploring with new mediums and continuing things locally and abroad.
