Efforts are being made to diversify Queenstown s economy post Covid-19. (First published July 9, 2020) “It’s meant there’s been a whole lot of crew that previous to these shoots coming to town had to base themselves in Auckland to get work, so they’re back home.” It has also meant crew spending money on accommodation, food and materials for filming. Any business in the time of a crisis was good business, he said.
One Lane Bridge producer Lisa Chatfield said it was clear times were tough in Queenstown. However, the people of the town were welcoming, generous and willing to put up with inconveniences, such as filming taking over the lakefront area outside Eichardt’s Private Hotel.
