NZ On Air and TVNZ are requesting proposals from production companies with the requisite credentials and capability to produce two important Pasifika series - Tagata Pasifika and Fresh.
Tagata Pasifika and Fresh have a proud history of delivering innovative and entertaining content to Pacific audiences. They are also important contributors to NZ On Air’s Pacific Content Strategy, where the agency seeks to provide “diverse content made for Pacific audiences that is accessible, enjoyed and valued through multiple channels”.
Both series have funding earmarked by NZ On Air for 2015 which is subject to acceptance of a suitable proposal.
To ensure authenticity of content, we are expecting to contract with skilled production entities either led by Pacific people or who can demonstrate knowledge of these communities and of cultural competency and genuine and authentic involvement within these communities.
Interested parties should read the Request For Proposals document below.
Proposals should be emailed by 5pm 28 November 2014 to Ngawaero Maniapoto: ngawaero.maniapoto@tvnz.co.nz and Glenn Usmar: glenn@nzonair.govt.nz
