The news that Wellington-based visual effects and animation company Wētā FX is planning to cut around 100 jobs has been dubbed a “major blow” to the capital’s creative sector.
In a statement this morning, Wētā FX confirmed staff were informed yesterday of the proposed changes affecting roles in support departments largely based in Wellington.
The company, majority owned by Sir Peter Jackson, currently employs about 2200 people, predominantly in the capital.
