## Bio

Born 25 December 1982 in New Zealand, Farrier worked as a journalist and dabbled in acting, appearing in Rhys Darby's 2014 mockumentary series Short Poppies. The shift came in 2016 when he co-directed Tickled, a documentary that began as a story about competitive endurance tickling and spiraled into something far stranger and more sinister. The film's success opened a path: in 2018 he created Dark Tourist for Netflix, a series built around his visits to sites of tragedy, death, and disaster - places where catastrophe becomes destination. He writes, directs, and appears on camera, a guide to corners of the world most people don't admit they want to see.
