The Aotearoa/New Zealand section is about the land, people and the country as a filming location. While relevant mainly to overseas filmmakers contemplating shooting in New Zealand, some of it will be useful to locals. Although intended as a factual rather than a promotional piece, it does give an indication of the range of scenery and provides detailed information on New Zealand’s mountains and the most popular locations for foreign produced productions. It also provides a guide to the policies, regulations and institutions that relate to filmmaking in New Zealand but, as each production has its own requirements and circumstances, it is not intended as a complete manual. A New Zealand production manager or location manager should be contacted for detailed information.
