Think local act global ! It worked for Weta Digital ! In case you didn't know Avatar SFX house. Also a lot of Harry Potter was filmed and SFX done in NZ.

I was brought up in NZ, but now live on West Island (Sydney, Oztrayla). If you create some sort of blog, etc let me know, I'll read it. Majority of my wife's family still live in NZ.
