Meet the team
John-Jo Ritson
Director
As a kid I was interested in everything film. From the stop-motion animation of Morph to the cinematic styles of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Now based out of Christchurch, I am motivated by creating videos that inspire people to take action.
Josh Sila
Editor
From making original music, to painting full scale street art murals, I have always been obsessed by creating and designing visual goodness! Whether it’s photography, cinematography or digital editing, creating is my happy place!
Gina Papahadjis
Communications Manager
With a background in Event Management and Marketing, I am passionate about creating digital and promotional material that helps tell a story and engage audiences.
Environmental
Because we care about our planet, and future generations to come one of Flashworks Media’s goals is to become a carbon negative video production company.
We started our efforts back in 2015 where 200 pine trees were planted on a Canterbury farm as the first step to contribute back to the environment. Shortly after John-Jo decided that he wanted to make a larger impact and made an arrangement with Te Kakano, a Wanaka based charity, that meant for each video made a native tree was planted.
The bigger the business grows the better for the environment. Flashworks are now engaged with Trees for Canterbury and will continue to have more trees planted and help promote their efforts.
