"Just silence": Should Netflix pay more attention to our screen industry?

There's a view Netflix isn't paying enough attention to New Zealand's screen industry.

So far, the content and commissioning has been heavily based across the ditch. 

Screen Production and Development Association President Irene Gardiner told Mike Hosking that some international productions have been shot in New Zealand, and they’ve bought the odd pre-existing show, when it comes to commissioning a local production they’ve had nothing but silence. 

She says that commissioning gives us intellectual property and export dollars - which is good for our economy.
