South Pacific Pictures' cornerstone production is the primetime nightly serial drama Shortland Street, which will celebrate 33 years on air in New Zealand in May 2025.

South Pacific Pictures’ most recent feature film was This Town, a dark comedy written and directed by David White. The story follows a young man acquitted of a terrible crime trying to rebuild his life in a small Kiwi town and stars Robyn Malcolm, Rima Te Wiata, David White and Alice May Connolly. This Town was the first film released directly after the Covid-19 lockdowns and brought in almost half a million dollars at the box office despite adverse circumstances.
In 2013, South Pacific Pictures released feature film White Lies, starring Antonia Prebble, Rachel House and Whirimako Black. The story was based on Witi Ihimaera’s short tale ‘The Medicine Woman.’ The film was submitted as the official New Zealand entry for consideration for Best Foreign Language film at the 86th Academy Awards.
