Māori Television: Insights & Opportunities

Māori Television: Insights & Opportunities

Posted Friday 05 Mar 2021

It's probably a while since most of you have had direct interaction with Māori Television and a lot has changed, so we're delighted to bring you Hinurewa Poutu, Director of Language and Content, and Lanita Ririnui, Content Commissioner, who will tell you exactly who is doing what at Māori Television and what plans are for the year ahead for the new team.

You're likely to be surprised by the opportunities there are, no matter your ethnicity.  Find out what they're looking for, and not looking for (just as important), the best way to approach them and what the cultural requirements are for commissioned content and acquisitions.

Hinurewa and Lanita will also share their insights into the best way for you to pitch to a broadcaster, whoever that may be.

Spread the word far and wide to your fellow screen industry people.

This is a unique occasion in Christchurch - we hope to see you all there!

NZ On Air - In Person (Christchurch)

NZ ON AIR – in person!

Join us in Christchurch for an informative session with Kelly Davis, Associate Head of Funding at NZ On Air. Moderated by WIFT Executive Director, Patricia Watson, we will explore the current funding strategy following on from NZ On Air ‘s newly published direction for the next four years, in their Statement of Intent, and the plans for the coming financial year.

We will delve into details too e.g. Identifying your audience – do you know who will want to watch your programme? What are some of the common funding application downfalls? Where are the opportunities? What is Te Pae Matarau, The Everyone Project Aotearoa, and how will it serve the wider screen sector?

Mostly, it's time in the room with one of our main funders. It's a chance to ask the questions a form never lets you ask.
Come along to connect, have a wine, and be informed.
