Auckland-based Kiwi-Tongan filmmaker Alex Liu is the third recipient of a two-step Guild minimum open script deal with MGM Studios and the Black List, as part of their two-year feature-film script-writing partnership. Liu originally submitted his recent script God Bless You, Mr Kopu to the website The Black List. It is a site connecting writers and filmmakers globally and is “pretty massive in Hollywood circles”. For Liu, who has wanted to write and make films since he was a kid, the deal was “overwhelming”.
Alex Liu got the news the day he turned 30, and says it's "overwhelming" after working towards it for six or seven years.
