15 films made it to the finals
15 young filmmakers from across New Zealand have made it to the finals of the ID360 Short Film Competition.
“Young people in New Zealand have produced fantastic films that reflect the diversity of cultures and ethnicities in New Zealand,” said Youth Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta. “Congratulations to the finalists. I encourage everyone to go online and vote for the People’s Choice Award.” Five finalists from each age category are in the running to win the People’s Choice Award.
Like young New Zealanders the entries were diverse. The judges, Jess Feast, Zoe McIntosh and David Rea, were very impressed with both the production values and the exploration of the theme in the short films.
“It was a real privilege to view such diverse, inspirational and high quality films. Making a short film is time consuming and requires lots of hard work, all of the young film makers should be very proud of their efforts.” Zoe McIntosh, ID360 Judge
