Nina Wells is using her 2017 AL Guilford Emerging Cinematographer award to boost her cinematography skills. 

She has told NZCS that she intends to use the $2,000 prize money to help fund attendance at ASC cinematography master classes in LA, and a lighting course in Australia, both of which promise to promote Wells to a new skill level.   

Wells has also received assistance from the NZ Film Commission and takes with her the encouragement and best wishes of NZCS.
