The Vista Foundation 48Hours is running a half-day workshop to up-skill filmmakers and a networking event to connect with the local film community.

Filmmakers, creatives, and teachers will have the chance to sharpen their short filmmaking skills in preparation for the Vista Foundation 48Hours in 2022.

This creative workshop will be in 3 parts: the first part is all about producing a film project and will be run by VF48Hours managers Ness Patea and Ruth Korver. In the 2nd part of the workshop, experienced writer Duncan Sarkies will offer some tools for generating story ideas and lead a creative writing workshop. In the third section, a 40-min Q & A session with director Calvin Sang will be hosted by Dale Corlett from the Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga/ New Zealand Film Commission.

We will finish the day with a networking event to meet and connect with local filmmakers and talk about film! Our aim is to bring the Vista Foundation 48Hours to the regions and to provide a professional development opportunity and an experience that will inspire local filmmakers.

This event is free but registration is essential.
