Philip Smith – Managing Director GREAT SOUTHERN TELEVISION
“Celia has directed more than 20 episodes of the show during my time as producer.. (sic)…and I hope she continues to do so. All he stories are extremely well thought through and well put together, because Celia has a first-class television brain – she has superb instincts and has honed her abilities through a wide variety of work. Celia will never let you down – and in fact, she’ll bring more to any project she undertakes than you expected”
Julian O’Brien – Producer HYUNDAI COUNTRY CALENDAR, TVNZ
“The show (Cool Kids Cooking) was a new concept and we wanted a director who could come up some creative ideas that would set the show apart from other children’s programmes. Celia delivered – from the outset she was totally dedicated to the success of the show – she scripted and directed (and edited a number of shows) and went way beyond what I would normally ask from a director. She is creative, very well organised, very knowledgeable about her craft and always receptive to suggestions from other team members. This won’t be the last time Celia works for Top Shelf.”
Laurie Clarke – Executive Producer TOP SHELF PRODUCTIONS

She worked long hours when required to meet deadlines, motivated those in her team well and was utterly reliable in delivering material entrusted to her.”
Tony Palmer – Producer, TVNZ
“Upon commencement Celia proved her worth quickly adapting to work systems and procedures, tight deadlines and the introduction of new digital technologies. When Celia worked under my direction I found her determined, focused and dedicated to her craft, to which she has enviable flair.” “In the short time you’ve been here you’ve earned the respect of editors, reporters and producers with keen attention to detail and a business like approach to tasks at hand. Few people in this industry have impressed me as much so early in their tenure.”

“Shout out to bad ass director Celia Jaspers killing it on an episode of House Hunters International in Wellington, NZ! Not only was she directing our drone pilot here (reference photo) but she was also running traffic with 2 cams with her DP plus six talent including two infants. Just want to say cheers and well done to a true professional. Grace, style and competence! What a joy to witness as Celia’s boss who felt more like a student today !!! #respect #ladyboss
