Wellington's Winter Reflection

It's been a long and typically brutal winter here in the greatest little city in the world (argue amongst yourselves).

The TVC's that came flooding into town over summer and autumn mostly all went back to Auckland as soon as Covid had passed. And that's fine.

Meanwhile, Miramar continues to hum, as shooting moved from Avatar to, err, “Stonehenge” without too much downtime. And a shout out, of course, to everyone who is still working on Avatar and will be for a long time yet, in post-production and all that other wonderful stuff that keeps on happening for years – sometimes – after the cameras and lights and costumes have been packed away.

We figure, as the weather warms up – there's a Tui sitting outside on my washing line as I write this. I figure that's a good omen – then the smaller jobs, the commercials and the corporates will start to proliferate again. But for now, except for the usual low budgets and self-funded projects this city excells at, we are a bit quiet out on the streets.

What a great time to update your CV!

All best,

GT and Crew Wellington
