Auckland City Council is increasing funding for Film Auckland. The City Development Committee yesterday decided to increase the contribution to the film industry body from $45,000 in 2009/2010 to $150,000 for 2010/2011.
“This is about tangibly supporting a local film industry that for years has punched above its weight, providing the means to harness the potential of local talent and maximise the benefits of the city’s unique landscape and climate,” says Mayor of Auckland City Hon. John Banks.
