Screen Connect – Industry Evening
Presented by: Film Bay of Plenty
As Matariki approaches, join Film Bay of Plenty for a special mid-winter screen industry evening at Te Whare Piringa — Rotorua’s newest production studio.
This evening is a chance to come together, reflect, reconnect, and look ahead while celebrating the talented producers emerging through our Regional Producer Accelerator and the incredible stories growing across our region.
We’re excited to welcome special guest speakers and pitch selectors:
Executive Producers Pip Gillings and Simon Ambridge from Screen International NZ
Film Marketing Strategist Iris Lamarr from Reframe Collective
Director, Producer, Writer and Actor Thomas Robins
A highlight of the evening will see four of our Regional Producer Accelerator cohorts pitch their screen projects live, competing for up to $3,500 in market stipends. Only two winners to be selected!. Come along and support our emerging regional storytellers as they take the next step in their screen journeys.
Expect inspiring kōrero, regional screen updates, project teasers, kai, and the best thing, connection to our screen community in the Bay of Plenty.
