Macleod is Making Waves

Congratulations to Incubator alum Isla Macleod (DEGANZ) for being selected for the second iteration of A Wave in the Ocean (AWITO).

Through the professional development programme, the seven selected filmmakers will engage in a full-time 15-week film intensive course in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. Under the guidance of Academy Award-winning writer and director Jane Campion, they will also receive funding to practice their craft with a short film.

AWITO is founded on the belief that filmmakers have a sacred psyche that dreams to express itself poetically, humorously, and dramatically through visual storytelling. The students will learn through experience, explore their curiosity, and learn the balance of risk and ambition.

All the best to Isla and the other participants as the course kicks off this month!
