Director Josh Frizzell’s ‘Friends Like Her’ Nominated for Best Drama at NZTV Awards

The gripping psychological drama Friends Like Her, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Josh Frizzell, has been named a finalist for Best Drama at the prestigious New Zealand TV Awards.

Frizzell, who directed all six episodes, brings to life a powerful story that explores the unraveling of a friendship when a surrogacy deal goes horribly wrong. Set in the coastal town of Kaikoura, New Zealand, Friends Like Her delves into the complexities of loyalty, betrayal, and resilience amidst the backdrop of a town already divided by a devastating earthquake.

Friends Like Her, written by Sarah-Kate Lynch and produced by Great Southern Television, is currently available on ThreeNow in New Zealand and is set to premiere in Australia soon.
