Lippy Pictures: Dramatising reality…

Lippy Pictures is an Auckland-based production company run by award-winning writer/producers Paula Boock and Donna Malane. Both had accomplished screen careers before partnering up as Lippy Pictures, and their success has continued since forming the company. They have made a name for themselves creating dramas and documentaries based on real people and events.

In this ScreenTalk, Boock and Malane talk about: 

• How the right timing led to the creation of their production company
• Wanting to tackle a gross injustice in Until Proven Innocent
• The daunting task of filming the rape scene for the film
• Being emotionally attached to Tangiwai: A Love Story
• How Pirates of the Airwaves turned into one long romp
• Being appalled by the story behind Field Punishment No.1
• The challenge of re-creating World War I during an Auckland summer
