How do filmmakers bring our country’s rich history to life for the screen, creating both compelling drama and truthful re-presentations of history?
Award-winning writer/producer Paula Boock (The Insider’s Guide to Happiness, Until Proven Innocent), and actor/writer/director Fiona Samuel (Piece of My Heart, Outrageous Fortune) have both looked to our past for their latest drama projects – Boock, the Tangiwai disaster (Tangiwai) and Samuel, Katherine Mansfield’s early life (Bliss).
Documentary filmmaker Leanne Pooley (Untouchable Girls, Haunting Douglas) talks to them about the process of turning true stories into drama for the screen.
