NHNZ Names New Head of China Operations

DUNEDIN, December 19: Factual television producer NHNZ has
promoted Lauren Wang to director of China operations, replacing Rachel Yu.

Based out of the Beijing office, Wang will help oversee
efforts to develop and maintain relationships with government agencies and
broadcasters.

Since she joined NHNZ in 2004, she has served as senior
operations manager, providing a link between the company’s production crews and
their Chinese colleagues as well as liaising with Chinese broadcasters, local
authorities and film festival organizers. Felix Feng will take over as senior
operations manager.

"I'm thrilled that Lauren has agreed to accept the
position in a period of significant growth for NHNZ in China,” said NHNZ’s
managing director, Michael Stedman. “NHNZ is now making more documentaries
about China than any other foreign documentary production company in the
world.”

NHNZ currently has nine hours of documentary programming in
production in China.
