Creative Progress in Dunedin
Navigating production challenges in Dunedin with local efforts and regional filmmaking aspirations.
From a forest in Makara …
These past few months have been a bit of a ghost town for Dunners. Some of us local crew have briefly flown the coop to Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland to build skillsets and pay mortgages.
Some of us remain focused on developing regional content, pitching to commissioners in the hope we get the next leap of faith and a chance at the funding pot.
All in all, we’re ready and chomping for the next green light, however it may come.
