Coming to NZ

New Zealand provides a world of locations and climates within a small geographical distance. Combined these natural resources with state-of-the-art facilities, from sound stages to VFX and equipment hire, and crew trained to international standards and you will see that New Zealand offers a wealth of filmmaking opportunities. From grant schemes and film locations offices to loans, equity and facilitation, the resources of the broader New Zealand film community can help bring your project to fruition.

  • New Zealand offers a 15% rebate of Qualifying New Zealand Production Expenditure (QNZPE) on projects over NZ$15million
  • New Zealand offers a PDV (post-production, digital and visual effects) incentive whereby qualifying PDV expenditure which reaches a threshold of $3m will receive a grant of 15%
