The New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) welcomes the increased funding being made available to filmmakers of medium-scale films with approved New Zealand content, and the further impetus that it should create.
“The Commission views it as a positive response to the Australian Producer Offset Scheme which had potentially put at risk some filmmaking capability in New Zealand,” said NZFC Chairman David Cullwick.
The NZFC looks forward to working closely with filmmakers and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage to finalise implementation details over the next few weeks.
