“We are very excited to be working with Quickflix in response to the market’s desire for documentary film content,” said Dan Shanan, Executive Director of the Documentary New Zealand Trust. “With the absence of a public television channel in New Zealand and the limited slots for documentaries on local channels, it made sense to move to an innovative, digital platform provider and Quickflix is the ideal partner for us. The relationship and service place the viewers at the centre of how we deliver; great documentary content, simple to access and affordable to watch.”

Paddy Buckley, Managing Director of Quickflix NZ, commented, "We are proud to be supporting filmmakers, the Documentary Edge festival and the documentary genre in general. Kiwis love documentaries, so it’s exciting that we can make this range of high quality documentary films available to the New Zealand public.”

“This just is the beginning too. We’ll be looking to expand upon and strengthen our relationship with Documentary Edge and have some innovative ideas around next year’s festival and beyond.”
