A place for Film Makers, beginners to pro.

Thank you all and farewell!
Kia ora Collective,
After almost 15 incredible years of connecting filmmakers of all skill levels across Aotearoa New Zealand, Rich and the team have made the difficult decision to close the group at the end of February 2025.
It’s been incredibly inspiring to witness the amazing projects that have come to life and the development of exceptionally talented filmmakers. We hope everyone in the Collective continues to create and share their unique stories.
We've had the privilege of contributing to community initiatives, workshops, and events, including the 48Hours Best Disqualified Award. While this chapter is ending, we’ll each continue supporting and contributing to the independent film scene in our own ways.
A heartfelt thank you to every member who shared their work, put out crew and cast calls, sought advice, and helped grow this community into something truly special. Your creativity and collaboration have influenced countless other groups, initiatives, and collectives across the NZ indie film scene.
Thank you once again — and remember:
Don’t wait. Create.
Ngā mihi nui,
Rich and the team
