Thinking about entering Vista Foundation 48Hours? Or ready to come back for another round?

Join Regional Film Offices of New Zealand (RFONZ) and Vista Foundation 48Hours for an online info session designed for emerging filmmakers, first-time teams and veterans all across Aotearoa.

Gain valuable insight from our two-time Grand National Champion and this year's Across Aotearoa Regional Manager Dean Hewison. Regional Wellington Manager, producer and multi-time regional winner Thomas Coppell will talk through: 

How to prepare for the competition, what to do, what not to do, how to make your film stand out, and how this competition can open doors to bigger opportunities for your filmmaking career. This is an opportunity for everyone involved to get in the zone, and bring together teams from Across Aotearoa, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

You'll also have the chance to ask questions, connect with filmmakers in your region and get all the tips and tricks to make the most of your shoot weekend!
