TESTIMONIALS:
Our Clients Speak for Us

  • I had the pleasure of collaborating with Hinatea and her Agency, Ora, on a recent personal project during which a lifelong dream of capturing the beauty of Tahiti was realized. Through each aspect of the process, the Ora team delivered at the highest level of professionalism. The team had the unique ability to take my vision and bring it to life, with not only authenticity, but also with timelessness and relevance. Ora helped with every aspect of the shoot, from location-scouting, casting and props to general coordination of a flawless production. As a creative, I traditionally aim to do more than is possible in the allotted time. My enthusiasm was matched by the Ora team and we exceeded all goals and expectations. They represent not only a world class production Agency, but also true stewards of culture and community that is critical to the story telling of such a special place. Ora is a special agency that I look forward to partnering with again soon.

  • We have been collaborating with Hinatea since years, lifting each others from scratch and i truly believe that she's the best at what she's doing - no one equal her in French Polynesia. She brings a valuable creative asset to every project she joins and she makes the magic happen. Behind or front camera, she's the queen ! Ora grows as an outstanding innovation for our country, it could export Tahiti onto a larger market we couldn't even dream of.
