Bombing at the Box Office
In a recent Onfilm opinion piece, producer John Barnett wrote about the general failure of local feature films at the box office. Where are we going wrong?
Script to Screen, in association with the New Zealand Writers Guild, presents a conversation between Graeme Mason, CEO of the NZFC and former Head of Media Projects for Channel Four UK; Andrew Cornwell, general manager of Sony Pictures New Zealand; theatrical distributor Michael Eldred and MC Vanessa Alexander (writer/director Magik and Rose; producer Being Eve).
Discussion will focus on the importance of writers, directors and producers identifying an audience when developing a film, and factors throughout the process which can lead to success or failure at the box office.
