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!
