Vincent Ward has produced, executive produced and/or written and
directed feature films including What Dreams May Come (Which won an
Oscar and was nominated for 2 Academy Awards), The River Queen (Won
best film in Shanghai) and The Last Samurai (4 Academy Award
nominations and winner of Best Foreign Film in Japan) developing the
underlying material he chose the director, before acting as an
executive producer on this film. Ward's films have earned critical
acclaim and festival attention whilst achieving a wide, eclectic
audience. Vigil (1984), The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey (1988) and
Map of the Human Heart (1993) were the first films by a New Zealander
to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Between them
they garnered close to 30 national and international awards (including
the Grand Prix at festivals in Italy, Spain, Germany, France and the
United States). His latest feature film Rain of the Children (2008) was
voted by the audience, from 250 feature films, to win the Grand Prix at
Poland's largest film festival. The film was also nominated for best
director in New Zealand and Australia. Ward was awarded an Order of New
Zealand Merit in 2007 and is in the process of actively searching for
material for new projects.
