Walking Shadows Vol. 3 nominated for 5 awards in New Zealand
We are so thrilled to share that Walking Shadows Vol. 3 has been nominated for 5 awards at the 2025 NZ Web Fest in their International Narrative section:
- Best Editing (Sally McLean)
- Best Writing (Sally McLean)
- Best Directing (Sally McLean)
- Best Score
- Best Series (English Language)
Huge thanks to Festival Director, Keith Barclay and the NZ Web Fest team for this wonderful thing!
We love New Zealand Web Fest – it is one of our favourite fests, not least because of the way they are so inclusive for all creators who are selected each year – no matter where they are based.
With online panels and screenings, as well as in-person events in Auckland and then THREE Award Galas in the one day, the team at the fest really make sure everyone is feeling the love. Two of the Award Galas are run online via video conferencing for international creators – one for podcasts, one for series. All the creators are logged into a Zoom call (that is broadcast live via social media) and each winner can then be brought up live to give a thank you speech right there and then, no matter where they are in the world – it’s awesome. Then the third event is for New Zealand series and podcasts and held in person in Auckland.
Honestly, we think this set up is genius and are so totally chuffed to be not just selected but nominated in all these amazing categories. We can’t wait for November! Thank you again NZ WebFest – you rock!
