Briar Collard
Dusty Rooms Productions is a small theatre company based in Auckland, formed by Briar Collard and Adam Rohe. Their aim is to share accessible and relevant stories - encouraging curiosity, conversation and compassion through the art of storytelling.
Dusty Room has presented five productions since 2016, starting with “A Man Walks Into a Bar” by David Geary (Rangatahi Season, Te Pou Theatre). In the same year, they presented “Proof” by David Auburn, which went on to produce a mini-tour to The 4th Wall Theatre in New Plymouth and The Dark Room in Palmerston North. In 2018, they took on Camilla Walker's "Such Stuff As Dreams", presented at the Basement Theatre Spring Season 2018.
Their most ambitious production yet is "Alone" by Luke Thornborough, which debuted as part of Auckland Fringe Festival 2020 at MOTAT's Aviation Display, going on to win the "Best Theatre" and "PANNZ - Tour Ready" Fringe awards.

Arts in the MediaJoshua Prendeville: Building an Audience on Boosted
Accomplished Filmmaker Joshua Prendeville first came to Boosted in order to help with funding his 2024 Film 'The House Within,' documenting the life and work of 2026 Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellow Dame Fiona Kidman. Since then he has gone on to direct an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party,' that was also funded in part through Boosted. His latest project is 'Earthly Shadows,' a short film adaptation of the award-winning story by Fiona Kidman. For Joshua, Boosted has become a more than just a funding avenue, it's a way to bring his audience onboard at the start of a film's journey and bring that crowd along with him. Joshua was kind enough to share with us his experiences and lessons learned from growing his audience on Boosted, and how he aims to bring them on a journey with his latest project, 'Earthly Shadows.'18 May 2026
