Director Miki Magasiva joins Eight

Eight has signed Miki Magasiva to its roster of directors.

Born in Savaii, Western Samoa, Magasiva hails from a long line of performers, artists and storytellers. With a talent for finding the comedy in truth, Magasiva possesses an innate sense of pace and timing. His thespian background affords him a unique insight into the actors’ craft, enabling him to derive effortless performances from actors and non-actors.

Says Magasiva: My mum said she’d give me a hiding if I didn’t join Eight, so here I am. So far I’ve seen a great committed team who are hardcore fun and passionate about their work. Damn it, I’ll have to step up now!”

Says Katie Millington, managing director and executive producer, Eight: Miki is a great fit for Eight. We’re in production together on his first job with us and I’m bowled over by his sense of empathy and his natural way with people, from creatives to suits to crew to clients. He’s uber talented, he knows his stuff and he might just be the nicest guy in advertising.
