INNER CITY EAST CYCLES
Inner City East Cycles was a collaborative project started just prior to the first covid look down, with lives interrupted we stopped filming until things returned to normal, but that of course hasn't happened. Looking back at this first iteration of the story I can't wait for another opportunity to catch-up with all the wonderful people making a difference to those living on the margins. People Like Jono have since moved on, but they're still making a difference and so the story continues.
There are important lessons here for those watching New Zealand's own homegrown platforms which are taxpayer supported through NZ on Air. Whether freeview or payview, what are we actually seeing and why? what are we actually paying for and why? Are we simply paying millions to subsidise commercially fragile kiwi media platforms or are we paying to ensure a future for kiwi made factual content? These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
The property was purchased by Habitus Group for the development of six new sustainable homes. But before they could start any new builds on the site they had to deal with the old and what job! Check out the Habitus link below.
