One of the best things about the recent long weekend - apart from a precious sleep-in - was the announcement that WIFT member Rachel Lang is being appointed as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to television.
We're stoked to see Rachel recognised for her contribution to some of New Zealand's best-known and loved television series: Outrageous Fortune, Shortland Street, The Almighty Johnsons, Nothing Trivial, Go Girls and many others. She's a talented writer and an industry stalwart. Congratulations, Rachel!
