Hall brings her 20 years industry experience to Photoplay, and will be on the ground to build Photoplay up in the local NZ market.

Says Oliver Lawrance, executive producer: “We’re keen to become part of the local scene in NZ. The quality of the creative is always really strong and that’s what attracts us. We’re thrilled to have Penny onboard – it’s a great fit for us, not only is she a very good producer, she’s also lots of fun.”

Says Hall: “I’m really excited to have joined Photoplay. They’re a really nice bunch of people and they do great work. I look forward to sharing it with the New Zealand market.”
