Loyd Doron is a Filipino filmmaker who moved to New Zealand to study film. His passion for filmmaking began after winning a smartphone filmmaking competition by the Goethe-Institut New Zealand and the Mobile Innovation Network and Association which involved a film workshop and world premiere screening in Wellington in 2019. His expertise is in cinematography but he has also directed short films on topics that tackle social issues such as poverty, climate change, mental health, and gender-based violence in the Philippines. His focus as a filmmaker is sharing underrepresented voices. He sees every work as his way to deliver a message that matters in his heart. Loyd Gorme Doron, a recent film student graduate from the College of Creative Arts (CoCA) at Massey University in Wellington, has been named the winner of the Creative Excellence category at the Hui Mai, Tui Mai Wellington Educated International Student Excellence Awards. Originally from the Philippines, Loyd’s work explores themes of identity, migration and belonging, giving voice to Filipino and migrant communities in New Zealand and beyond. His short films, including Rasyon, Arm Me For Peace and Wheels of Fate, have been featured in local festivals and university showcases, earning recognition for their emotional depth and technical mastery. Loyd’s short film ‘Beyond Connection’ won the ‘Up to 24 Award’ at The Outlook for Someday 2023, now rebranded as Day One Hāpai te Haeata. His other short films have also screened and been nominated at Student World Impact Film Festival, New Zealand Youth Film Festival, JCS International Young Creatives Award, Sorok Short Film Festival and more. Recently, their recent documentary Wheels of Fate was awarded Best Documentary at the Bachelor of Screen Arts Best of Showcase. Loyd completed his Screen Arts degree at Massey University, where he was involved as the cinematographer for ‘Sick Attraction’ and the director/cinematographer for his short documentary film 'Wheels of Fate.' Loyd’s recent documentary, Wheels of Fate, is a standout example of his craft. The film tells the story of how a passion for inline skating fosters community and belonging for an immigrant in New Zealand. This visually stunning work earned Best Documentary via the Take One: Bachelor of Screen Arts Showcase.
