Each year, we celebrate the incredible talents from the Day One Challenge, spotlighting emerging filmmakers and the stories they bring to life. This year, we’re thrilled to introduce the Day One New Filmmaker Awards 2024, dedicated to young filmmakers under 25 across Aotearoa.

On December 15th, join us in honoring these exceptional talents in three exciting new categories:

The Spirit Award: For filmmakers who show a can-do attitude and creative problem-solving skills.
The Vision Award: Recognizing storytellers with unique perspectives and a powerful creative vision.
The Craft Award: Celebrating technical excellence across various filmmaking roles.
