NZTECHO is really pleased to announce that in 2008 we had a higher number of our members listed as finalists in this year’s SCREEN DIRECTORS GUILD FILM AND TELEVISION AWARDS than ever before! On behalf of the Guild as a whole, we very heartily congratulate the 13 listed below (Winners first, the rest in somewhat random order), and especially the two at the top, Dave Garbett and Tim Prebble. It’s also pleasing to note that our finalist members are spread across a number of crafts, many in the Production Design department - but also including two in directing!
(A useful reminder that our membership is not limited to the “technicians”! Thinking of members and awards, I’d love to mention one other finalist who for 3 years or more has been telling me he’s going to join the Guild! One day! - Ed.)
