Why do so many local feature films fail at the box office? Where is New Zealand cinema going wrong? In a recent Onfilm opinion piece, producer John Barnett wrote about the general failure of local feature films at the box office.
Script to Screen and the NZ Writers Guild are presenting a conversation between Graeme Mason, CEO of the NZ Film Commission and former head of projects for Channel Four UK, veteran exhibitor Joe Moodabe, and indie distributor John Davies. Local writer / director / producer Vanessa Alexander will MC the event.
The discussion “will focus on the importance of writers, directors and producers identifying an audience when developing a film, and factors throughout the process which can lead to success or failure at the box office”.
23 February, 7pm drinks, 7.30 start, The Classic, 321 Queen St, $5 koha appreciated. Read more at Script to Screen.
