Ohmigosh, what a pleasure it was to take in this movie! Written and directed by the brilliant Chelsie Preston Crayford, Lisa Harrow and Marta Dusseldorp, (oh, and Matt Whelan!) I can’t recommend it more highly. It made us laugh, gasp and astounded us. Magical! #CATERPILLAR

The Covid Inquiry should’ve been an opportunity to see how we might respond to the next pandemic, or similar large scale emergency, better. For the greatest public good, not political point scoring with the benefit of hindsight. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #PublicHealth

Conan O’Brien dings Donald Trump: Anora is having a good night. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.” #Oscars

LMFAO, Conan O'Brien calls out Adam Sandler for his shorts and hoodie, and things went sideways. To be fair, he could be a Senator dressed like that. 🤣🤣🤣#Oscars2025

. Gaza The dead boy tries to open his eyes. He wants to see the world he is leaving. But there is nothing to see here, nothing and nothing, and anyway he is gone. His parents held him while he died but they are both dead, too. Or he held them, no one remembers. .

Just finished. My god. This book came at just the right time in my life. I don't think I'd have "gotten" so much of it if I were a baby writer. Or maybe I'd have "gotten" different things. "... you will be dealing with the one thing you've been avoiding all along ... your wounds." Thank you, Anne. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #scriptchat
If you're feeling a little paralyzed in your writing, struggling to get out of your own way, I highly recommend Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird. I've only read the intro and the first chapter and it's already forever altered my headspace. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #scriptchat

Today's reminder of how serious the local production cuts by Three/TVNZ are going to be. I appreciate that everyone is affected by Gov cuts and people may ask why we should be any different, but now would be a really bad time to also take funding from NZOA
The cutbacks to local production by Three and TVNZ are going to be serious. Sunday and Fair Go are not the only popular shows under threat. Spada is asking Government to exempt NZOA from the 7.5% across the board Ministry cuts at this challenging time for our sector
