We’ve been delighted and warmed by support from many people, especially the cast and crew, our families, and the people who’ve advised us. We thank them very much.
We also give our deep thanks to these (alphabetically) listed supporters: the individuals, the organisations, and our contacts within the organisations.

Working with Development—the—movie, its mission and its transparent processes, has been inspiring. Throughout our involvement with the project, Development has modelled alternative approaches to filmmaking and funding, which will open the door for others to get their stories on screen. This project is about providing access and cultural community development. Arts Access Aotearoa believes this is a film that needs to be made.

Dr. Cilla McQueen New Zealand Poet Laureate 2009-11, writes: Development is an important initiative to advance women's contribution to filmmaking. These able practitioners of perspective take the long view of cultural development in Aotearoa.

Jane Campion writes: I am stunned when journalists ask, ‘Why do you make films about women?' It's like asking me, ‘Why do you speak English?’ To know what it's like to be a woman, as unjust, as undervalued, as maligned as it can be, none of this, though it is wrong, can alter the extraordinary wonder of being female, where despite the disempowerment, there is so much love, so much creativity, so much power. We are women, we are only half the world, but we gave birth to the whole world. No one on this planet should be ignorant of our views or our voices.
