A short tribute to one of Fiji’s longest serving film crew member - Ray Newton.

Ray worked across nearly every major production filmed in Fiji over the years, serving in many departments, most notably Lighting and Grips.

He was a familiar and respected presence on set, dependable, hardworking, and always ready to step in wherever needed.

No job was ever too big or too small for Ray. He approached every production with the same dedication, professionalism, and steady attitude.

He was someone many crew members leaned on, not only for his experience, but for his willingness to help, guide, and mentor those coming through the industry.
Ray was friendly, loyal, and deeply committed to the craft, though certainly not someone to be taken lightly.

His contribution to Fiji’s film industry spans decades and countless productions, leaving behind a legacy that will continue through the many people he worked alongside and mentored.

Film Fiji extends its deepest condolences and heartfelt gratitude to Ray’s family for sharing him with the industry for so many years.

Ray will be sorely missed🕊

From all of us at Film Fiji.
