This week the Government acknowledged the importance of the screen industry to New Zealand - feature films, local and international... television series for home and overseas audiences... as well as short films, web-series and many others. They've all been affected by the Covid 19 lockdowns and so welcome the Screen Sector Recovery Package announced on Wednesday by Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, Carmel Sepuloni. So where does the money go, and what's its purpose - seed money for a multi-billion dollar industry or top-up for a "nice to have" feelgood arts project? We're joined by a pretty high-powered panel representing a wide range of interests. From the New Zealand Film Commission, Leanne Saunders, Head of Development and Production, and Philippa Mossman, Head of International Screen Attractions. On the line is one of our most successful film producers Matthew Metcalfe, of Dean Spanley and McLaren fame In Auckland, we have Kelly Martin from our top producers of TV and film, SPP, who make Shortland Street and The Brokenwood Mysteries, and here in Wellington, Amie Mills Head of Funding from New Zealand On Air.
