Placements & Opportunities

If you're looking to grow your skills and expand your global network, check out our latest placements and opportunities. 

Our placements offer a unique chance to: 

• work with leading film companies around the world, gaining insights across all areas of development, financing, production, post-production, distribution and marketing (Company Placements) 
• shadow directors or producers on local and international productions filming in Aotearoa (Project-Based Placements). 

To apply, you need to have secured NZFC, NZOA or TMP development or production funding or have been accepted into an intensive funded talent development initiative.  

You can apply for Company Placements as they come up and can submit an Expression of Interest to be considered for Project-Based placements at anytime.  See full information about eligibility and process in the guidelines.

Additionally, we work with a number of international partners to provide special opportunities for NZ filmmakers to attend prestigious labs, workshops and markets.  Eligibility criteria differs for each opportunity, and in some instances these opportunities are for filmmakers with projects that have already secured development funding from NZFC.
