One Network News - 2004 Cannes Film Festival
Television (Full Length) – 2004
Reporter Paul Hobbs joins the Kiwis congregating at the Cannes Film Festival for this 2004 One Network News report. Hobbs is on the French Riviera to hear about two of the most expensive New Zealand stories yet to win funding: historical drama River Queen and vampire tale Perfect Creature. Hobbs hints at budgets north of $20 million. Among the Kiwis talking things up are NZ Film Commission Chief Executive Ruth Harley, River Queen investor Eric Watson, and director Roger Donaldson. Cliff Curtis pops by, and Fat Freddy's Drop lay down some party tunes.
We've been able to announce the two biggest films — biggest indigenous films out of New Zealand — that we've ever had.– NZ Film Commission Chief Executive Ruth Harley at Cannes
