Alas sometimes the seedling shrivel and die from a multitude of environmental threats.
Darwinism 101

Not so long ago NZ Government 2003 Helen Clark PM began state support for film Production in this country to grow an embryonic growth oportunity, The Luvvies embraced the security of employment and involvement, it was the catalyst that ignited Weta Workshops, the result, a now significant slice of a world of cinema for New Zealand.
Costs, who cares what an opportunity to advance a bunch of the mediocre to live the dream?
Hell even attracting a notable James Cameron to the country to buy land in South Wairarapa.

That cost is being exposed with allegations of multi billion subsidisation, admittedly in gross costs to government with little calculation for any net financial reporting.

Now the bubble is under threat from the current devil incarnate, dear old Donald John Trump who in his MAGA drive now focussing on restoring Hollywood. might just bring that government subsidy into the field guns of the US.

Of course there will be an outcry from those who make a living pretending to be someone else whether actual or imagined, whose talents might be threatened. Boo hoo hoo, the very same people whose profile gives a totally false belief their opinion on unrelated matters is worthy might be deprived, sorry both the empathy and sympathy tanks are empty.

22 years on and the costs just keep expanding and rolling on, here’s a thought where are all the dollars emanating from the taxpayer largesse, not available to further grow the ponzi scheme? it appears not, the inflow of funds being disrupted will end the whole shebang, who knew?
