Haere mai, welcome to Reel Talent Tips and Tales podcast, based in New Zealand and celebrating the diverse international film community behind many of the films and television shows we’ve loved over the years.

A spin-off of my book The Reel Deal: Real Talent, Tips and Tales, the podcast aims to inform students and anyone interested in joining the screen industry by sharing career journeys, practical advice, behind-the-scenes stories, and lessons learned from people working across film and television.

Today, I wanted to introduce you to the podcast and give you a little background leading up to it.
