Behind the Screen

Kiwi Creators in Oz

Fellow Kiwis Greer Simpkin (Bunya Productions) and Chris Alosio (Next Goal Wins, Talk to Me) share their journeys as filmmakers and actors making their mark on the Australian screen industry. In this conversation, they discuss their creative influences, the perspectives they bring to Australian productions, and the opportunities and challenges of working across the ditch. 


Warm, insightful, and full of trans-Tasman pride, this session celebrates the talent Kiwi creatives contribute to our industry.
