In this episode of the Beyond Broadcast podcast, I speak with Celia Jaspers.
Celia has been in the media industry for over 30 years - Director, Writer, Producer, Script Supervisor & Editor - A true jack of all trades.
Helming projects such as House Hunters International, Country Calendar, Primeval New Zealand, Milk & The Polycees.
Her career has seen her work on a mixture of local and international tv as well as her own personal projects which have garnered many awards.
We talk about her start on the iconic New Zealand kids show ‘What Now’ at the young age of 15 and how that led her on her journey to start in the TV industry.
We discuss her inspirations and how she ended up becoming a core part of the team behind Country calendar in later years and how this led to her call up to work on hit show House Hunters International.
Celia credits the importance of community support when making films on smaller budgets and we take a look at how it helped her create her own projects. Additionally we also focus on Celia’s motivation for continuous learning, and the challenges of navigating the film festival circuit.
Celia has a wealth of knowledge and it was really interesting to get a behind the scene look at some of the higher level nuts and bolts of navigating passion projects while still working freelance on projects for larger production companies.
