SILVERSCREEN CLOSES ITS WELLINGTON OPERATION

Silverscreen Wellington has closed, and its head office has moved to its Auckland facility, with executive producer Julie Elstone and owners Geoff and Laurian Dixon relocating to Auckland along with other key staff. “Our NZ agency clients have been steadily consolidating their own business in Auckland for some time, and it’s sensible to head the operation from the major market,” says ceo David Plummer. The move has no effect on Silverscreen’s stable of local directors and producers, or on its Sydney office.
