He’s called for the Government to revisit the rebate scheme. 

CEO of the Film Commission, Annie Murray says production opportunity isn’t just about money. 

“Yes, they’re looking for the best for their bottom line, but they’re also looking, first and foremost, for a creative fit. And they’re certainly finding that here.”The Film Commission says bringing more film projects to New Zealand isn’t as simple as hiking subsidies.
