There's a new must-see New Zealand feature documentary on the block! Celebrating NZ literary legend and 2006 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman, and created by writer and director Joshua Prendeville – "The House Within" raised over over $18,000 on our crowdfunding platform, Boosted, and three months later, is now premiering in the New Zealand International Film Festival to sold out screenings. We caught up with both Joshua and Fiona to hear their takes on crowdfunding, creative collaboration, and the impact of the arts. It's a long one, but a goodie.
