Life in Wellington, New Zealand, photos, and dogs

For several reasons I've decided to close this blog and incorporate existing and future posts into my main blog, KnowIT.

Wellington the film capital

by Miraz on 29 June 2009 · 0 comments

Movie making is on the increase in Wellington.

It seems Wellington’s the place to be if you’re involved with making movies:

Last year, television commercials, along with feature films, television productions and music videos, pumped $285 million into [Wellington]‘s economy more than double the $128 million generated in 2007. The number of Wellington businesses involved in the screen industry also increased last year by 9 per cent, from 594 in 2007 to 648.

It’s great to see one industry is actually increasing in these times where everything else is in decline.
