Paul Andreassend

Health and Safety Manager / Pandemic Manager / Registered Nurse

Palmerston North, New Zealand

Creating healthy and safe workplaces for all of our cast and crew. We provide medical and safety services for activities on and off set.

Q&A

What’s surprising about your job?

Not only are we looking after the crew physically, but we also provide mental health and emotional support to our Avatar family.

Most exciting thing about working on the sequels? 

The marine portions of our shoots have been amazing to work on. Building multiple wet sets and tanks has thrown up challenges, but the results are rewarding.

Fun fact about yourself?

I married my amazing wife, Louise, a month before I started working on the Avatar sequels. Our daughter Ayla was born the WEEK we started live action filming in NZ!
