Bush Telly reboot!

I'm so happy because ....

Bush Telly is to resume programme production after a difficult year of earthquakes in Christchurch.

Bush Telly took a break so that members of the crew could sort their lives out and be part of the community efforts to recover.

The restart process is now underway, with all borrowed gear being recalled, crew members being contacted, and a meeting of Trustees to be arranged soon.

Some specialised equipment is currently being built for filming in the bush.

The first NZ natural history film projects will be quite modest but over time a full recovery is expected. Filming will begin in March next month in the lower South Island.

The first film set at Ellerslie

Here are some pictures from the 3 week set construction in February 2009 for Bush Telly at the Ellerslie International Flower Show.
