There’s a view Netflix isn’t paying enough attention to New Zealand’s screen industry.
The movie and TV streaming corporation is setting up an office in Sydney to take care of Australia and New Zealand.
So far, the content and commissioning has been heavily based across the ditch.
Screen Production and Development Association President Irene Gardiner told Mike Hosking that some international productions have been shot in New Zealand, and they’ve bought the odd pre-existing show, when it comes to commissioning a local production they’ve had nothing but silence.
She says that commissioning gives us intellectual property and export dollars – which is good for our economy.
