There are awards to encourage new generation creatives, and ones to recognise the work of arts veterans. But what about those hard workers who are in mid-career? Welcome to the FAME Mid-Career Awards. Lynn Freeman talks to one of this year's winners - actor, writer, dancer, choreographer, producer and director Amanaki Lelei Prescott-Faletau, who's of Tongan descent. Her career has included scripts for film and TV, and several appearances in front of the camera in The Breaker Upperers, The Panthers and The Pact. Amanaki plans to use the $15,000 FAME prize to take one of her own shows on tour. In 2013, she co-founded the performing arts collective Fine Fatale to amplify the voices of Maori and Pasifika Trans and Queer artists and launched the Tamaki Makaurau based F.I.N.E Festival. Amanaki tells Lynn why the award recognition meant so much to her.
