About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of international film productions on tourism and the economy in New Zealand, featuring guest Philippa Mossman from the New Zealand Film Commission.

The trailer for a new survival thriller starring Brad Pitt has just dropped, and it looks good. Possibly because it was filmed entirely in the South Island. That got us thinking about what goes into bringing a large international film production here, and what the Kiwi economy and tourism industries get out of it. Joining Jesse is New Zealand Film Commission's Head of International Attraction and Inbound Production Philippa Mossman.
