(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Media Production industry)

November 2006 — Present (2 years 9 months)

Besides for working on two feature length films (1 in development in Canada, 1 to be produced in Mexico), WFT is creating two TV formats (1 about Italian cooking, 1 about hacking). Pilot projects to be readied by March-April. Looking for broadcasters.

In the pipeline is also the launch of a TV program about the environment. I will most likely be able to involve the politically active group of Beppe Grillo in Italy (www.beppegrillo.it). I am still interested in involving relevant organisations, decision makers and broadcasters that are open to bring an environmental show into their weekly agenda. The pilot will be launched before June 2007.

TV commercials: WTF provides liaison services for advertising agencies interested in shooting TV commercials. The focus is on New Zealand, where we can offer access to an exceptional network of local directors, crew, and location scouts, not to mention music composers, cast, equipment, and post-production wizards.
