New Zealand-made screen sound and music received a BAFTA, one Emmy, two APRA Silver Scrolls, two NZ TV Awards and three Golden Reels for work on film and gaming last year alone.
But members of the Screen Music and Sound Guild are issuing a stark warning about the future of the industry, one they say is under appreciated and under resourced.
Lynn Freeman speaks with Neil Aldridge who's a Lecturer at Te Rewa O Puanga - the Massey's School of Music and Creative Media Production and prolific screen composer Graeme Revell who has worked on American TV shows Gotham and CSI: Miami, and movies including Sin City and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
Also part of the conversation is John Mckay, chief executive of POW Studios and a committee member of the NZ Screen Music and Sound Guild..
