AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

Dr GRORDBORTS INVADERS by Weta Workshop
Hi Spek Spex
Dr. Grordbort and his retro sci-fi universe is the brainchild of Weta Workshop’s Game Director, Greg Broadmore (pictured).
​
After seven years of hard work behind locked doors, the universe is now available as Dr. Grordbort’s Invaders through the wearable device, Magic Leap One.
It was a challenge, Greg states, “We were working within a whole new medium, and one that doesn’t come with a manual.
​
But the future of storytelling is about pushing the limits of technology to create a new universe of human experiences and add magic to the everyday. And Weta Workshop is just getting started.”

Since it started in 1997, Story Inc has created all kinds of weird and wonderful visitor experiences - from projects of national and international significance for governments, to commercial and tourism attractions for private clients.
Story Inc’s first project was Golden Days at Te Papa, a show which resonated both with audiences and prospective clients around the world.
“We work internationally, but we really love New Zealand projects, and especially Wellington ones,” founder and MD James McLean (pictured left with co-founder Steve La Hood) says. “We’re proud to be contributors to the creative landscape of the city, as we have been for the last 20+ years.”

WAIRARAPA TIMES-AGE
Local Stimulant
Locally owned, locally printed, the Wairarapa Times-Age is independent and fiercely local.
The first daily in New Zealand to move from afternoon broadsheet to a morning compact, the Times-Age moved back into local hands in 2016 when publisher Andrew Denholm (pictured with next gen newsman Riley Denholm) bought the paper.
“The readers and local business have been incredibly supportive,” he says. “Probably because the front section is entirely local, and opinion and sports pages are also biased that way.”
In the latest ABC audit, the Times-Age was the best performing daily newspaper with a circulation over 5,000 in the country. “And that’s against a backdrop of double digit declines amongst many of our peers,” Andrew says.

WELLINGTON PARANORMAL
Casting Shadows
Wellington Paranormal is the first foray into TV by the NZ Documentary Board – also the fictional “producers”* of What We Do In The Shadows – and is almost a police reality show, but with supernatural storylines and deadpan Kiwi humour.
“Think Police Ten/7 meets The X-Files,” producer Paul Yates (pictured) says. “Aliens, zombies, droll police officers – it’s ideally suited to its Wellington location.”
The first series began screening on TV2 in July last year and was a hit - the first episode reached an audience of 484,400, unheard of for a first-run Kiwi comedy. A second series was commissioned straight away.
* Paul tell us that NZ Documentary Board was just a joke graphic at the start of the film to make it sound official. Jemaine and Taika decided to adopt it for the TV version
