About POPORAZZI PRODUCTIONS -

Poporazzi Productions was established in 2018. Its first foray into story telling, Misadventures of a Pacific Professional, is a commentary on the unconscious bias faced by many Pacific people in the workforce, and was nominated for Best International Drama at the 2020 Melbourne Web Fest. Last year Poporazzi worked with Umbrella Multimedia to co-produce Talanoa with Tupe, a talk-show on Oriana TV and Sky 83 focused on Pasifika success. 

Tupe Solomon-Tanoa’i is the host of Talanoa with Tupe. She is a leader in the not-for-profit sector, and a former diplomat. Last year Tupe won the Diversity category of the New Zealand Woman of Influence Awards, and was recognised as one of the University of Auckland’s 40 under 40.
