Filmmaking in New Zealand is a very tough gig. Our size means money's tight and competition is intense for funding and support especially for new film makers.

A champion of new talent Esther Cahill-Chiaroni is leaving her job as Executive Director of Script to Screen, though she won't be lost to the industry. The organisation offers workshops and other practical support for filmmakers.

Since taking on the role in 2010,  Esther has been heavily involved in talent development programmes and the organisation now has an alumni of well over 100 filmmakers. Jackie Dennis will be taking over from as Script to Screen's Executive Director.
