LA-based Dynamic Television (Drops of Gold) has partnered with Sky New Zealand and funding body NZ On Air to launch a scripted development initiative to support up to three New Zealand drama series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Aotearoa Scripted Series Initiative offers funding of up to NZ$75,000 (US$42,000) per project, or up to NZ$225,000 in total, with equal financial contributions from the three partners.<\/p>\n

The ambition is to help writers and producers shape distinctive drama series with potential global appeal. Applications open on November 6, with guidelines and information available at www.nzonair.govt.nz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It builds on Dynamic Television\u2019s existing relationship with NZ On Air. In August, the funding body committed NZ$8m to four scripted projects in its latest round of funding, including a second season of Ms X<\/a>, the crime drama series distributed by Dynamic.<\/p>\n

Dan March, founder and managing partner at Dynamic Television, said: \u201cOur experience on Ms X proved just how exceptional New Zealand\u2019s creative community is. We are thrilled to partner with Sky and NZ On Air to build on that momentum \u2013 nurturing world-class talent and developing original stories designed to resonate with global audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron Harland, CEO at NZ On Air, added: \u201cOur strongest stories are the ones that could only come from Aotearoa. This initiative gives local writers and producers a local broadcast home through Sky, and international development and distribution expertise through Dynamic Television, so that distinctive New Zealand drama has a stronger pathway to reach audiences here and offshore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LA-based Dynamic Television (Drops of Gold) has partnered with Sky New Zealand and funding body NZ On Air…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-645765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
