DUNEDIN: Production house NHNZ is setting up a production office in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, where it will manage Middle East-specific productions.

NHNZ—which already has offices in Washington D.C., Singapore and Beijing—will also be working on building up its 3D production output from the new post. This will be done in co-production with twofour54.
 
NHNZ’s managing director, Michael Stedman, said that the company has been investigating 3D for the last 12 months. NHNZ is poised to embark on a raft of 3D productions. “The interest in 3D is accelerating and the world is embracing 3D at an incredible rate. This format is a great enhancement for storytelling and will create a wonderful platform for telling the stories, which we are famous for. So collaborating with twofour54 will give us a major opportunity to venture into the production of high end HD and 3D documentaries.”
 
Of the expansion he added: “The Middle East is an enormously rich region of intense diversity and full of surprises. From a television landscape point of view it has largely been ignored for a long time and there are many stories to tell. ”
