LOS ANGELES (November 2, 2017) – Avalon Studios is pleased to announce their 2017 AFM line-up as well as a host of accessible production incentives in New Zealand. In recent years an ever-expanding list of big-name movies have been made in New Zealand, and Avalon Film & Television Studios has provided a range facilities to assist in their production.

It also has key relationships with Weta Digital (AVATAR), Weta Workshop (KING KONG), and Park Road Post, all world leading service providers.
Gary Watkins, owner and CEO of Avalon Studios explains, “The New Zealand Government offers generous incentives to both New Zealand and International film and television productions. For eligible international productions the baseline cash grant is 20% of New Zealand qualifying production expenditure and for eligible New Zealand productions a grant for equity participation of up to 40% is available.
Administered by the New Zealand Film Commission the incentives make New Zealand an attractive choice for both domestic and international ventures”.
