Queenstown’s film community is gearing up for a busy February/March with two TV series being shot simultaneously in the region.
First, the second series of TV crime thriller
One Lane Bridge will again be shot around Queenstown, starting mid-February and going for 10 weeks.
Secondly, it was confirmed last week production of New Zealand romantic comedy,
Under the Vines, co-commissioned by TVNZ, will start early February.
This will be set in Cromwell/Clyde, but it’s likely Queenstown-based personnel and equipment will be employed.
