Video promoting city wins global accolade

A video promoting Dunedin has won gold in the city promotion category at the US International Awards.

The three-minute video, Dunedin — Auditioning Now, created by Enterprise Dunedin and Film Dunedin, featured local settings as the backdrop for comedic homages to various famous films.

The aim was to catch the eyes of film-makers, producers and location scouts by showcasing the city’s varied and conveniently close landscapes, locations and settings.
