**Get the latest from Sundance anytime via indieWIRE’s Twitter feed.** Film-making is a gift and requires team talent. Many filmmakers start as Producers and Directors and then specialise. The producers branch to cultivating Directors and forming collaborations and co-productions. The Directors are writers and visualisers. They need their producers.

. Feature films are the new vehicle for New Zealand since the establishment of the Film Commission. The Commission is an off-shoot of the Ministry of Culture, Department of Internal Affairs. It raises it's money from lotteries.

When filmmakers develop autonomy they may switch between being directors of producers, depending on each project and the business relations they strike. Peter Jackson is an example of an INDEPENDENT PRODUCER. He has only received one small Film Commission investment to complete //**Bad Taste**//( 1989).

People who may be eligible for a Film Commission investment will have been successful with a 35mm short.
