Timeline

1866

With Henry John Hayward (1866–1945) Rudall senior’s brother, his parents were involved with entertainment and silent cinema in New Zealand, in West’s Pictures and The Brescians.

1900

Rudall Charles Victor Hayward (4 July 1900 – 29 May 1974) was a pioneer New Zealand filmmaker from the 1920s to the 1970s, who directed seven feature films and numerous others.

Hayward was born in Wolverhampton, England, and died in Dunedin while promoting his last film.

He was the son of Rudall and Adelina Hayward, who came to New Zealand in 1905.

1916

Rudall (junior) was educated at Wanganui Collegiate School from 1916 to 1917 and the Waihi School of Mines.

1920

He worked in Australia c1920 under Raymond Longford (who in 1915-16 was filming in New Zealand), on some of Longford's films: The Sentimental Bloke, On Our Selection, and Rudd’s New Selection.

He made his first two-reel comedy The Bloke from Freeman’s Bay in 1920 (which his uncle Henry offered him £50 to burn).

1921

He was prosecuted by the Auckland City Council in the Police Court and fined £1 on each of two charges for putting up posters for The Bloke from Freeman’s Bay in unauthorised places contrary to city by-laws, in October 1921.

1922

His first feature was My Lady of the Cave (1922).

1923

In 1923 he married Hilda Moren and she worked with him on his later projects as an editor and producer: Rewi’s Last Stand (1925), The Te Kooti Trail (1927), and The Bush Cinderella (1928).

1928

In 1928-30 the couple made 23 two-reel "community comedies" with local settings and actors at various towns, and titles like: Tilly of Te Aroha, Hamilton’s Hectic Husbands, A Daughter of Dunedin, Winifred of Wanganui, Natalie of Napier, and Patsy of Palmerston.

Lee Hill worked with Haywood on these, then went into competition with him.

1943

1961

His films were made on a shoestring budget, and in an interview from 1961 Hayward explains, “We had a sound camera which I built up with the help of friends who had lathes.

Other parts I had made by Auckland companies, and I laboriously paid off the cost because no one was earning very much.

We had a sound engineer, Jack Baxendale, a brilliant pioneering ham radio enthusiast, and he built not only the recording side but also the microphones.

It was a major task for anyone to build condenser microphones in those days.”

After World War II he worked in England, then made his most successful film The Amazing Dolphin of Opononi about Opo the dolphin.

1972

He made educational films in New Zealand and overseas, then his final film To Love a Maori (1972), which was shot on 16 mm.
