Congratulations to the team behind d8talk, produced by WIFT Member Georgia-May Russ; and executive produced by WIFT Member David Jacobs.
No matter where we come from, how we identify ourselves and what we’re into, the desire to find connection is universal. Over the next six months, a diverse group of young New Zealanders will take part in a dating conversation via a new social media project, d8talk.
The project is rolling out across Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Snapchat, and Facebook Reels, with two phases: Tapes featuring clips from 38 interviews in which rangatahi aged 18-24 share their experiences with wins and losses, and Diaries which will delve deeper into the world of dating for Generation Z in Aotearoa, following eight of the initial interviewees over four months.
Audiences will enjoy this fresh, entertaining and endearing insight into the highs and lows of the young dating scene in Aotearoa. It’s full of anxiety, excitement, rejection, fulfillment, growth, trauma and humanity.
