Winner!

At the Auckland Branch Committee meeting last week, Megan’s last task was to draw the winner of the book The Business of Documentary Film-Making from a bowl - the name she plucked out was Tamara Penniket, of Hamilton.

Congratulations, Tamara!

Meanwhile, another doco soundie, Nick Treacy, was browsing the book and saying things like, “My God, this is brilliant!” - while his desire to win (he had put his name into the draw) increased by the second.

Commiserations, Nick! - and also to the others who missed out.

Nick reminded us of Sammy Davis Jr’s dictum that “We’re in show business - there’s two halves to it, Show and Business. Pay equal attention to both.” He reckons this book does exactly that. He’s buying it!
