Inherently nosy screen storyteller and creative industries cheerleader. CEO @greenstonetv.

@RichardHills_ The idea that “art” and “business” are mutually exclusive is so reductive. Aside from all the obvious wellbeing benefits of creativity, evidence is overwhelming that we need STEAM not STEM if we want all this “innovation” and “productivity” the govt keep talking about…

@RichardHills_ I spent a couple of years working with police specialist crash investigators, and talking with survivors + families of victims. The difference of collision at 30kph v 50kph, or 80 v 100, is often life or death and ignoring mountains of that very grim evidence blows my mind.

Email from property manager: rent to go up 7.5% in June. We’re v fortunate to be able to afford it, but tell me again about all those benefits to landlords being good for renters…? Fantasy land.

@Suitandtie9999 @_chloeswarbrick I’ve lived on K Rd for over a decade and Chloe has - and continues to - engage with residents and businesses and respond to events in the community. So yes, is the answer.

When a commercial is also a beautiful piece of storytelling.

@RichardHills_ And when sexual assault remains alarmingly prevalent and young people are being exposed to some awful ideas of consent and “normal” thanks to porn, it of course makes sense to remove discussions about sexuality and healthy relationships from schools 🤦🏻‍♀️😡

@chamfy LOVE it. Started a few months ago (at a studio at City Works) and have since abandoned the gym in its favour.

THIS 👇🏼 Tim also made an excellent doco about this (still avail on TVNZ+) which politicians of all stripes clearly need to watch.

@Jenene I’d love to see that area not be an ugly carpark - but not until there are actual and reliable public transport options! And you’re right that that carpark is safest and cheapest.

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@chamfy Love it! (Have also been know to enviously yell “damn you and your enormous budgets!” at the TV when they deliver yet another sumptuous scene that really adds nothing to the narrative, it simply looks incredible).

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@JohnJCampbell Tautoko! It’s stunning and fascinating and epic. (And I am still envious the team got to go to Rapa Nui!)

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@sachajudd @TVNZ Came for the same query… Not just you!

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@bjjanssen @RichardHills_ Right?! Latest studies put the return to the NZ economy of the Screen Sector Rebate as $6 for every $1. And these people keep talking up their “business acumen” 🤦🏻‍♀️

@understatesmen Among the treasures of NZ On Screen is this 1980s doco: https://t.co/mg4HHXtyhZ

@publicaddress Oh Russell, I’m so sorry. And you are the third (smart, aware) person I know this has happened to in the last 6 weeks. The scammers are incredibly adaptable and slick. Busy lives and ubiquity of text comms…

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@sarb @publicaddress This is beautiful and I am *totally* crying. Art is an empathy machine.

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@BarrSteve Yup.

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@jo_moir It’s one way to tell your voters you consider them too dim to learn anything new…

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@GrumpyYetAmusin Used it in addition to masking on two long-haul flights for conferences last year. Who knows if it’s just a correlation, but avoided 🦠 so am definitely continuing!

[Rachel Antony @rantingrach]

@dimsie I couldn’t do it. Gave up after 20 mins.
