It's a problem every country with a film industry is grappling with - how to make the most of the global boom in film and television production. The screen industry is worth over $3 billion to the New Zealand economy, and supports about 29,000 jobs. The industry here has continued to grow, managing to attract productions like Amazon's big-budget Lord of the Rings TV series. But how can we continue to snag big international productions in such a competitive global market? And how can local content grow and thrive?
These questions are the focus of the Screen Sector Strategy 2030, which has been tasked with finding a 10-year strategy for the Kiwi screen industry.
