The Pacific Film Unit was established in Wellington, in 1948. At this time most films produced in New Zealand were documentaries made by the Government's National Film Unit. In 1950 the company changed its name to Pacific Film Productions Ltd.
The first feature film was Broken Barrier (1952). The company had an office in Courtenay Place, Wellington in 1960, and was the New Zealand representative for British Movietone News and Fox Australian Movietone News. Associated companies were Pacific Television Ltd. and Pacific Films Ltd.
Pacific Films produced scores of road safety dramas, rugby tests, documentaries and commercials.
