Harry Wynn is an award-winning filmmaker based in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2023, he was honoured as the SPADA New Filmmaker of the Year, recognising his innovative contributions to the field.

Harry directed the documentary series ‘Queer Aotearoa: We’ve Always Been Here’, released on TVNZ and TVNZ+ in February 2025. The series explores New Zealand’s LGBTQ+ history through a millennial lens. His recent work includes ‘Shred’ (2022), a short documentary that follows a teenage bodybuilder's all-encompassing journey to compete at the highest level. Previous projects include ‘Young & Hooked on Chemsex’ (2021), a compelling look at the impact of methamphetamine on Auckland’s gay hookup scene, which screened on TVNZ+, and ‘Three Ticks Chlöe’ (2020), a film about dynamic millennial politician Chlöe Swarbrick's fight against the political establishment.

Harry produced the short documentary ‘Out There’ (2024) for Loading Docs, about a clandestine group that channels their hope into extraterrestrial phenomena, and the New Zealand Film Commission short film ‘Rice Run’ (2025), about the child of immigrant parents who struggles with the expectations of working in his parents’ restaurant while wanting to be like any other kid and hang out with his friends.

With a background in production management, Harry has worked on numerous television productions for companies like Greenstone TV, Attitude, and Stripe Studios, which have screened on platforms such as Bravo, TVNZ, and RNZ.
