1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Well, the Trump ideology is well and truly landed on 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: New Zealand shores of the universal team percent on everything 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: didn't rip your nightey? How about the one hundred percent 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: on movies made outside America. 5 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 2: Now, I'm not looking to hurt the industry. I want 6 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: to help the industry. But they're given financing by other countries. 7 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: They've given a lot of things, and the industry is decimated. 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: If you look at how little is done in this 9 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: country now, you know, you think we were the ones 10 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: We used to do one hundred not long ago, one 11 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: hundred percent. Now we do almost like very little. It's 12 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: shuck in. 13 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: Screen Production development to Assistant president Associate president Iron Gardeners 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: with us irene. 15 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning mate. 16 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: He's right, isn't he. We subsidize and he wants to 17 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: balance the playing field. 18 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: Well, he's not entirely right, because actually the problem he's 19 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: trying to solve, which is building in particular Hollywood La 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: back up again. There's a few contributing factors there to 21 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: do with COVID strikes, the fires, and it'd actually be 22 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: different ways to do that, including looking at their own 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: incentives and the type of films they make and so 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 3: on and so forth. So he's he's kind of that's 25 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: the problem I think he's trying to solve because he 26 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 3: hasn't quite got his green dusty terminology right. He's actually 27 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: talked about films not made in America getting the terriffle 28 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: that would actually not be American films that shoot somewhere else, 29 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: that would actually be you know, like a New Zealand 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: film like Tina couldn't go there. But I don't think 31 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 3: that's what he means. What he means is the big 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: films that are taking an incentive. 33 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: Do you actually know? I mean, no one knows what 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: he means, does he? So what happens you shoot? You 35 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: shoot something in Los Angeles, then you flick a bit 36 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: of it off to wetter and then they finish it 37 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: off somewhere else and then they take it back to America. 38 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: Now is that American made or not? 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: Well, see, that's still an American movie, it's still in 40 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: American production. That's whereas terminology is quite confusing. And so 41 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 3: I don't know how you could actually do what he 42 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 3: is talking about doing. And I guess that's what will 43 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: shake down in the next few days. And that's why 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: I would tell you our members and others an industry 45 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 3: folk not to panic, but you know, people do get 46 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: very unsettled because the American movie is either shooting here 47 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: or post producing here, you know, using wetter special effects 48 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 3: or whatever. That's a huge chunk of our screen industry money. 49 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: And you wouldn't want to lose that, and you wouldn't 50 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 3: want to lose the training grounds and all of that, 51 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: and it won't actually help solve the problem. And people 52 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: don't only shoot in a territory because of the incentives. 53 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: I mean they shoot in New Zealand sometimes because of 54 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: physical things. We've got landscape things. So it's all a 55 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: little confusing. And I would, you know, just because a 56 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: lot of our producer members are local producers, I would 57 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: just say the reason you need to keep local strong 58 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: because international can be very variable. 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: Good on you iring listen once it shakes down, we 60 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: know what the hell's going on. We'll get you back 61 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: on and have a longer conversation.
