Kirikiriroa / Hamilton
City Managers
Your Kirikiriroa / Hamilton City Manager is Tony Bennett.
Tony Bennett
This year Tony is taking on the regional manager role for both Taranaki and Hamilton.
Tony is worlds away from his two decades living in London, in which he ran short film night events and rushed around taking part in 48Hour competitions in the big smoke.
He was the Tropfest NZ 2017 Runner-Up at the beautiful Bowl of Brooklands in New Plymouth, which helped set him up to deliver the best experience for the Taranaki 48Hour film-makers.
48Hour films are the gift that keeps on giving; each year they never fail to surprise.

Judges
Mike Potton
Mike Potton is a 48Hours frozen fossil dug up in a sarcophagus full of petrified MiniDV tapes. He was thawed and re-animated for 2021, shooting Traces of Nut's winning film Good Girl. In 2022 he shot runner up Child Support's A Multitude of Ways to Leave your Lover. Queer and Here, Kia Kids News and Country Calendar are some of his TV exploits shot before his inevitible return to a frozen tomb.
