Screen Production Relief Fund Criteria
On February 9 the Government announced an extension to the Screen Production Recovery Fund (SPRF), which allows screen productions that meet eligibility criteria to claim some of the costs imposed by increased alert levels and/or the traffic light system.
A maximum of $10.6m of screen production recovery funding has been set aside to be administered by NZ On Air, this funding is available until January 31 2023.
NZ On Air is now accepting applications to the SPRF. These funds are for productions funded through NZ On Air that have been shut down, delayed or constrained by COVID-19.
The updated General Criteria for SPRF applications is available here.
The Screen Production Recovery Fund Guidelines for General Video Productions are available here.
The Screen Production Recovery Fund Guidelines for Music Video Productions are available here.
Please note, it is expected that you will have investigated all other options before you apply to this fund. Where possible we would prefer to receive just one application per production. Subsequent applications from an individual production will potentially be de-prioritised, behind first-time applicants.
If you have questions please contact Abbi Maidment or Glenn Usmar.
