WIFT member April Phillips of Godiva Productions has had two films "Letter For Hope" and "Utu Pihikete" selected for the New Zealand Film Festival in China. They were selected by the China Film Bureau with the NZ Film Commission. The showcase is estimated to reach more than 10,000 people in its 42 screenings in three major cities. Here's the Film Commission's release:
April was writer and co-producer on both films and also acted in them.
She says having one film selected would have been a thrill. "Having both selected is really exciting!"
Additionally post production is almost complete on her latest film, a sci fi drama called "REM". In addition to being the writer, producer and part of the cast, she also directed! Shot in Wellington, it is produced by Godiva Productions in association with Cut To The Dog Productions.
