Queen's Birthday Honours: Chelsea Winstanley
Chelsea Winstanley has made wide-ranging contributions to New Zealand's film and television landscape - from co-producing the wildly successful 'What We Do In The Shadows' to putting indigenous voices front and centre in her directorial debut 'Waru'. Her work has already won multiple awards and she was also the first indigenous female producer to be nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award with 'Jojo Rabbit'. And today Chelsea Winstanley is being made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the screen industry and Maori.
