Jenji Kohan.
Jenji Kohan, the creator of Netflix’s most-watched original show, Orange is the New Black, will headline New Zealand’s Spada (Screen Production and Development Association of New Zealand) conference this year, which will also feature an international address from Lord David Puttnam.
Spada 2019 will be held at Auckland’s Aotea Centre across November 20-21 and will conclude to align with the 2019 Nz TV Awards.
Kohan is a coup for the Nz screen industry event which will focus strongly on the international development of local content and opportunities for global co-production.
“We’re thrilled to have such an exceptional line-up of international and domestic speakers at this year’s conference. Rather than narrow ourselves to one theme, we’ve developed sessions to drive conversation around key issues that affect us as an industry both now and in the future,” says Spada’s executive director Sandy Gildea tells If.

For best effect, please imagine the following lines spoken aloud by Sean Connery in his unmistakable Scottish brogue.
“So, there’s an army of robot sharks invading the Manhattan sewers, and James Bond has to explore these tunnels and defeat the sharks before they cause a full-scale holocaust. After this, Bond paraglides onto the Statue of Liberty – which is actually a super secret Spectre base – and there’s a pitched battle atop the crown, concluding with the villain being stabbed and his blood runs down Lady Liberty’s face as if she’s shedding a tear. Pretty cool, huh?”
These are all genuine events from James Bond of the Secret Service – a draft screenplay by Len Deighton, Kevin McLory and Sean Connery. It’s absolutely dreadful, too, sounding like Austin Powers 30 years before he was ever a glimmer in Mike Myers’ eye. I’ve been leafing through a draft of...

By now you probably all know I have a soft spot for ridiculous shark movies, be they from Roger Corman, The Asylum, Syfy or anyone else… Which is why I always Have to subject myself to whatever treasures this disparate genre provide. Be it a Zombie Shark, Ghost Shark, Sharknado, Sharktopus, a 3-Head Shark, a Swamp Shark etc., etc…. whatever!?!
This time round we’ve got killer sharks and an environmental message in Ice Sharks. A Syfy channel originjal movie from The Asylum (so its a low-budget double-header) which sees a team of expert scientists are studying the effects of climate change on marine life at a research station deep in the Arctic. Suddenly, out of nowhere, hell breaks loose when a new breed of aggressive, ravenous sharks suddenly crack through...

Also known as Shark Island, a more generic title that would undoubtedly failed to sell more copies than the films other more exploitative moniker, Zombie Shark; this film stars former Degrassi: The Next Generation actress Cassie Steele as Amber, a tough as nails bartender who goes on a trip to a quite coastal island with her sister and a few friends, and runs straight into an army of sharks intent on eating anything and everything that get in their way. Only these are no ordinary sharks, oh no…
You see the almost-deseted island Amber and her friends are partying on also happens to home to a once-abandoned army facility that now houses a scientist, Dr.
