Thanks to our supporters
Thanks to the New Zealand Film Commission for their financial support to create this guide from the Screen Sector Capability Fund. The Guide is a collaboration between NZWG and SPADA (in association with the NZFC) and was developed to support the inaugural cohort of the Creative Collaboration in Action Programme. This programme was designed for emerging writers and producers to facilitate the development of healthy, collaborative working relationships, culminating in a pitching session with Aotearoa’s funding agencies and broadcasters.
