Kid Sister had a successful Season 1, and their Season Two is now on TVNZ+! And, it was made by a bunch of women and WIFTees! #proudWIFTmummoment
1News conducted an interview with WIFT member and director, Aidee Walker. "We are a team of female producers, director and creator. I made a conscious decision to also have a female Director of Photographers for both season one and season two. Tammy Williams shot season one, and Daniela Conforte shot season two. Both women did an incredible job and were perfect for our show and Simone. There's this inbuilt instant protection over our female leads and female characters," said Walker, in the article.
With Simone Nathan, the shows creator and lead actor, following this sentiment with, "It is also really comforting from a performer's perspective when you're doing scenes that are a bit more vulnerable — even one scene where my character pumps breast milk into a toilet. When you look up, you see two women behind the camera, laughing at you."
This sounds like a big vote for more women behind the camera telling women-led stories!
A huge congratulations to the shows team: Greenstone TV, producer by Emily Anderton, executive producer by Harriet Crampton, and Anna Coddington for her music.
You can now watch Season Two of Kid Sister on TVNZ +.
