Film Auckland Money for You!

Film Auckland wants to upskill the Auckland screen production industry. If you have experience in screen production, are committed to growing the Auckland industry, and want to take your skills to the next level, we can fund up to half of your project’s costs.

Round Four of our Capability Development Programme is underway and is an excellent opportunity to upskill either yourself or your organisation. We’ll consider everything from creative professional development to infrastructure, to technical support and the development of business knowledge.

Previous grant recipients included these members of the Techos’ Guild:

Sound recordist and engineer** Stephen Buckland** – to research frequency problems encountered in the Auckland region with radio microphones, to determine the best practice to optimise usage.

Script supervisor Kathleen Thomas – to participate in the Script Editing Workshop at the prestigious Binger FilmLab in Amsterdam.

Scene Safe – to run screen-related first aid courses, including on-set safety.

The Technicians Guild itself – to run a contracts workshop for its members to enable screen production technicians to better understand and negotiate contracts. (Happening soon.)

Funding for the Capability Fund comes from the infrastructure investment awarded to Film Auckland by NZ Trade and Enterprise as part of the Auckland Screen Production Industry Major Regional Initiative.

Round Four closes 5.00 pm, Monday 24 November.
