He made his feature debut with the black comedy Scarfies (1999), which premiered at Sundance, became an instant cult hit in New Zealand, and won seven New Zealand Film Awards. He followed with Out of the Blue (2006), a critically acclaimed dramatisation of the Aramoana massacre that grossed over NZ$1 million domestically and earned six Qantas Film & Television Awards. On television, his credits include the Louise Nicholas drama Consent (2014), the Jean Batten biopic Jean (2016), the Emmy‑nominated crime thriller Wanted (NBC/Matchbox), and the German–NZ co‑production The Gulf—all of which have sold internationally and won multiple awards. His projects consistently attract critical acclaim, draw substantial domestic audiences, and secure global distribution. Sarkies is currently preparing Pike River, based on the 2010 West Coast mining disaster, due for release in New Zealand in 2025. Rob Sarkies continues to celebrate community‑rooted storytelling, using place to connect audiences to the people and history that shape Aotearoa’s cinematic landscape.
