The New Zealand Film Commission has issued a document for consultation on the Premium Productions for International Audiences fund ($50 million premium drama fund) across FY21-FY22, which is designed to support the production of high-quality feature films or series dramas that tell strong New Zealand stories with international appeal.
The Fund is a jointly administered initiative between NZFC and NZ On Air, developed in partnership with Te Maฬngai Paฬho.
They have requested that all feedback be channeled through the industry guilds. DEGNZ is collating feedback and ask that you send yours, if you have any, to admin@deganz.co.nz by the end of business day this Friday 30 October.
NZFC is holding a public webinar today to brief the industry on the document and to answer any questions that arise. The webinar info:

DEGNZ is excited to present a workshop with director Rob Sarkies for South Island-based directors on November 28 โ 29. Rob will outline his process and encourage participants to develop processes specific to them.
About Rob Sarkies
Credit: Matt Grace Photography
Wellington-based, but a South Islander at heart, Rob works across feature films, series television and commercials. His work includes acclaimed feature Out of the Blue about the Aramoana shootings, Consent based on Louise Nicholasโs fight for justice, Jean about aviator Jean Batten, black-buddy-comedy Two Little Boys, Wanted, The Gulf and NZ classic Scarfies.
Process! Process! Process!
This will be a practical workshop that will take participants through Robโs film-making process from development to shoot and examine how process can be adapted from project to project.
The workshop will cover:
Development process (how to avoid โdevelopment hellโ or at least ensure your project comes out the better at the end of it)
Process leading to production (script prep, visual prep, storyboards, casting process)
Pre-Production (rehearsal process, binding your collaborators to the same vision)
Practical process on set (scene blocking, working with cast, working with your DP)
A workshop full of practical hints to help you control the beast of a feature film rather than having it control you.
