New combined screen industry group formed
Recently a meeting was held between the screen industry guilds, organisations and unions resulting in the formation of a new combined industry group entitled “Screen Industry New Zealand” (SINZ).
The new group comprises New Zealand Film and Video Technicians’ Guild (NZFVTG), New Zealand Writers Guild (NZWG), Nga Aho Whakaari (NAW), NZ Actors Equity (NZ Equity), Screen Directors Guild of New Zealand (SDGNZ), Screen Production and Development Association (SPADA) and Women in Film and Television (WIFT).
The combined member organisations represent a range of screen industry disciplines including actors, directors, editors, producers, technicians and writers.
After reaching agreement in principle on a variety of industry issues, the goal of SINZ is to work productively and proactively in the interests of the screen industry and those working in it.
SINZ’s intention is to enhance and support the growth of the New Zealand screen industry by working with Government, cultural and funding agencies to communicate its thoughts and ideas in relation to key industry issues.
