It’s been 12 months since Waikato Screen became fully funded and operational after two years of efforts to raise awareness among councils and stakeholders.
Tracy Hampton, film office manager and one of three company directors behind the not-for-profit organisation, has been instrumental in getting multiple funders on board.
It’s about driving Waikato’s screen sector growth through “strategic initiatives, partnerships, and economic development”.
In her reporting period August 2023 to January 2024, Hampton recently told stakeholders a fully funded film office had now been established attracting international productions, nurturing local talent and enhancing production efficiency.
