Coronavirus: NZ success could revive screen industry

From Morning Report, 8:44 am on 13 May 2020

New Zealand's success in stifling the spread of the virus puts our screen industries in a unique position internationally, according to those within the sector.

Across the world, lockdowns have seen demand for films, series', e-sports, and games soar but productions have halted in many places.

Felicity Letcher is chair of the Screen Sector Covid-19 Action group, and says with a little help New Zealand could quicky revive a $3 billion industry, and could be in an enviable position to attract even more international interest in NZ's screen offerings and talents.
