The best creative partnerships work a lot like relationships.
They're built on trust and shared values.
Strong foundations don't happen overnight, and definitely not in the week before a funding deadline.
The goal is to start conversations worth continuing. Whether you've got a project in development, you're a producer wanting to meet new voices, or you're building relationships before the next opportunity lands, this is the room.
Writers/directors, you may attend as a team.
Creative Matchmaking is a structured day of short one-on-one meetings hosted by WIFT NZ.
We're looking at:
The format and scale of work you're drawn to (feature, series, short, doc, hybrid)
Where you are in your career, and who you're ready to work with
What you're hoping to find; a project, a producer, a director, a long-term creative relationship, or just new connections
Producers will be split into groups:
Producers, factual / documentary
Producers, features / series drama
Meetings will be 20 minutes long. At the bell you move on.
