Graeme Tetley

Graeme Tetley began his long scriptwriting career with Vigil, one of the most acclaimed New Zealand films of the 1980s. He went on to co-create police show Shark in the Park, collaborate extensively with director Gaylene Preston (Ruby and Rata, Bread & Roses), and co-wrote Out of the Blue, the story of the Aramoana massacre. Tetley passed away on 13 March 2011. He was 69.

Film is collaborative. Being able to manage that collaboration is as important and as difficult as being a good writer. Graeme Tetley
