Tanya Wheeler- Screenwriter
Developing her screenwriting with the aid of seminars and
workshops run by Script to Screen, WIFT and the NZWG, the
by-product of her creative insomnia has been a long list of
features, TV series pilots and short films. Writer-for-hire and
script editing work quickly followed, as well as trips to Los
Angeles to attend Screenwriting Conferences and Pitching
Events.
Getting involved with director and producer team, Lennie and
Tania Hill, proved to be a turning point in acquiring film credits
on a number of short films that were selected for Film Festivals.
This year, the short film FOOTSTEPS (2014), written by Tanya, will
be screening at the NZIFF. For the past two years, she has also
been a guest lecturer in storytelling, script development and
screenwriting at AUT.
Workshops and seminars organised by WIFT and Script to Screen
have played a huge role in helping Tanya gain access to networking
and learning opportunities and she praises events like the Jeff
Gomez Transmedia Conference and the Big Screen Symposium as being
both inspiring and broadening as a screenwriter.
Although working in her new role with the Power Rangers TV
series on a short term contract, Tanya is still keen to get more of
her own slate of creative projects off the ground. In this
business, she says you end up being a producer, as well as a
writer, out of necessity because it is hard to find a great working
partnership. She has found that WIFT members have been the most
generous and supportive and looks forward to finding a producer
partner-in-crime.
