Let the credits roll, because Peter Goodbehere, the godfather of Hawke s Bay film, now has a Queen s Service Medal.
The 83-year-old founding member of the New Zealand Federation of Film Societies (NZFFS) Napier branch and the man behind Napier s Century Cinema has been given the New Year honour for services to film.
Goodbehere has had an extensive career in the film industry with various founding and leadership roles, all sparked by a personal love of film and cinema.
His career in the industry began when he started work in Wellington for the New Zealand Broadcasting Service and was persuaded to join the Wellington film society within a few weeks.
