First Platinum Fund projects announced

Broadcast funding agency NZ On Air today announced the first projects to receive funding from the new Platinum Fund.

The Platinum Fund was established in March this year to stimulate new high-quality locally made television programmes.

The fund is available for projects to screen on any of the six free-to-air broadcasters. NZ On Air’s Board met this week to consider the first Platinum Funding round.

“The priority this year is for drama, documentary and current affairs programmes that are demonstrably different from anything we’ve funded before,” said NZ On Air chief executive Jane Wrightson.
