The New Zealand screen industry - film, TV and now gaming - has exploded over the past 20 or so years. Where you could once probably fit our film-makers into a decent-sized bus, these days they'd fill a stadium.

Executive Director of WIFT, Patricia Watson lays out to Simon Morris where her battle lines are now drawn.
