New Zealand Interviews

We got four out of five interviews today with the last being put back til tomorrow, pretty good altogether, we've had days where all our interviews had to be cancelled so we're happy!


Our first interview was with Delia Shanly, the manager at Film Wellington, the interview went well and we got plenty of good parrallels for back home,



after that we had an interview with Lindsay Shelton, he was the marketing director for the New Zealand Film Commission for over twenty years and sold movies from New Zealand at Film Festivels all over the World, he also has a book about it called The Selling of New Zealand Movies, we shot the interview at the Embassy Theatre which was built in the 20's and restored more recently, this is where Peter Jackson holds all his premieres.


After that we got an interview with Sue Thompson, who is acting CEO at Film New Zealand,

Lastly we interviewed Brigitte Yorke, a production manager who has worked on The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Avatar and most recently Tintin. Brigitte Yorke IMDB

All our interviews today were great and we seem to be running up a lot of interview time, we should have plenty of footage to review when we get home.
