New Zealand International Film Festival 2019
Animation, Campaign, Social Media, Video & Editing
June — August 2019
The New Zealand International Film Festival is a national event extending the cinematic options of audiences and filmmakers throughout New Zealand. An international programme of between 150-170 features and short films is presented nationwide every year.
Having volunteered with the festival for the previous four years, it was a huge honour and thrill to join the team full-time for the 2019 festival and work on content creation and social media management.
The 2019 Festival included films such as "La Belle Époque" (2019), "Herbs: Songs of Freedom" (2019), the Aretha Franklin documentary "Amazing Grace" (2018), "Bellbird" (2019), Francis Ford Coppola's final cut of the legendary "Apocalypse Now" (1979), "Come to Daddy" (2019) and "Apollo 11" (2019). It was also where New Zealanders first saw future classics like "Midsommar" (2019) and "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" (2019). All up, 155 feature-length programmes from 47 countries screened across 13 towns and cities around New Zealand from July to September.
On this page are videos and trailers I created in my role at the Festival. These were used across social media to help market film screenings and events.
I worked with the social media manager to co-ordinate content and release schedules, with my first priority being partners and sponsors. I also established NZIFF's podcasting presence using the Anchor platform, and prepared official regionalised film lists for Letterboxd users to browse. These are a selection of some of the posts that appeared on social media.
Let's make something amazing together
