NEW ZEALAND ISSUE 239 Oct 2010

Welcome to the debut issue of Showcase New Zealand, brought to you by Production Paradise. We present the very best of the country's visual media industry, with more information available in our dedicated Film and Photo directories.

New Zealand offers an entire world of production possibilities, with stunning locations and an amazing infrastructure that makes shooting in the country a genuinely inspiring experience. Its production professionals and service companies have an impressive track record in providing expert production support to local and international film-makers across all genres and formats, and at all stages of production.

The famous Kiwi "can-do" attitude abounds, and many award-winning production, costume and make-up designers regularly testify to the flair and ingenuity within New Zealand's talented art departments.
