CBA's New Boss

After 8 years at the helm, Sarah Main is pleased to announce that Honor Byrne has taken over as director of CBA, Wellington’s only crew booking service since 1994.

Honor comes to CBA with an impressive 28 years of experience in production. Her filmography includes Willow, Tommyknockers, Heavenly Creatures, Lord of the Rings, 10000 BC, and Paul Murphy’s current offering Second Hand Wedding. TV and short film also feature on her CV, and who can count the number of TVCs she’s PM’d.

“I really wanted to ensure the next owner of the ‘hot seat’ had a good handle on the industry, its foibles and idiosyncrasies, both in Wellington and nationally,” said Sarah. “I wanted to hand over to someone familiar with local crew, and with the environment in Wellington, which is quite unique. Honor’s ongoing relationship with established crew and track record of assisting newbies to establish themselves makes her ideal for the job.”

We note the following in all of CBA’s communications:

“Inquiries and bookings for all crew on CBA’s books will be taken in accordance with the NZFVTG Guidelines for the Engagement of Crew.” The Techos’ Guild really appreciates the ongoing support for not only the Blue Book but all of the Guild’s endeavours from both CBA and Auckland’s Filmcrews.
