About portrait

With decades of experience across advertising and broadcasting, Untold Projects partners with agencies and organisations to shape ideas into thoughtful, visually crafted work through an agile and collaborative approach.

Arvid Eriksson, Director

Arvid is a Kiwi–Swedish director whose work spans more than two decades across New Zealand, Sweden, and the UK. His films are known for their cinematic craft, tonal sensitivity, and a strong human perspective — shaping both brand campaigns and personal projects.

Arvid spent a decade in London working across studios, broadcasters, and creative collectives before moving to New Zealand. There he worked as a Senior Creative at Māori Television and MediaWorks, later joining Special Group and building strong ties with the country’s design and advertising community.

His films have been supported by the Swedish Film Institute and Canal+, screened internationally, and recognised with honours including Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio, Axis Grand Prix, and FILA Festival awards.

Today, through Untold Projects, Arvid works closely with agencies to bring ideas to life through films that connect people and place with clarity, care, and cinematic craft.

Nigel Sutton, Executive Producer

Nigel brings two decades of experience across agencies and production companies, shaping some of New Zealand’s most ambitious campaigns. As Head of Production at Special Group, Young Shand, and True, he mastered the intricacies of the agency process — leading teams, navigating clients, and delivering work that stands out.

His time with production companies such as Blockhead, alongside an expansive freelance career, has refined his ability to balance creative vision with production precision. Nigel thrives on building the structures and collaborations that allow bold ideas to become world-class films.

At Untold Projects, Nigel partners with Director Arvid Eriksson to push agency briefs beyond expectation. His role is to align creative ambition with craft and delivery — ensuring every project is elevated, cinematic, and unforgettable.
