“This year’s SPADA Film and TV Conference is being held at a time when New Zealand producers are navigating an entirely new financial landscape with the introduction of the Screen Production Incentive Fund (SPIF), which enables producers to bring serious financial equity to the table,” says SPADA’s CEO Penelope Borland. “In the current world financial situation this incentive isn’t without its challenges, as it needs to be cash flowed by financial institutions, but we expect it to result in more New Zealand films.”
