Liz Mcgregor, Emmy Winner!

The Daytime Emmy Creative Arts Awards ceremony was on the 3rd May 2019 and was held in LA at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

Cinematographer DJ Stipsen and Liz McGregor attended as both were nominated for The New Legends of Monkey. DJ for Cinematography and Liz for Costume Design.

And Liz won!

She writes:

“It was hilarious when I won as we were seated about as far away from the main stage as possible (in the second front row in the balcony) and as DJ said, I nearly broke the half marathon getting down to the stage in my heels!

I felt really proud thanking ‘my little team in Auckland, New Zealand’ as it was a fully American Network audience and they had absolutely no idea who we were.

My background is I am Tongan/NZ and I have been working in the industry for about 29 years now, having cut my teeth as a Wardrobe Assistant on The Piano. When I have worked in NZ I have mostly tried to be with the Guild, whose work I feel is invaluable in this industry.”

Congratulations on this fantastic achievement Liz,

From all of us at NZTECHO.
