INTRODUCING
ANDREW LONDON AND APRIL PHILLIPS EXPERIENCED….COMMITTED…..PROFESSIONAL…..SUCCESSFUL ARTISTS
We've previously worked extensively together writing and performing musical tribute shows in theatres and at national jazz festivals such as “Blue Eyes” (a tribute to Frank Sinatra) at Circa Theatre in 2003 (winner of the Stellar Award for Best Musical Production); “Unforgettable” a tribute to Nat King Cole), “The Glory of Gershwin”; and “The Retro Pack” which had a sold out season at Circa Theatre in 2019.
The project involves bringing together the New Zealand-focused innovative satirical songwriting of well-known singer/songwriter Andrew London, and the creative writing and theatre performance skills of one of our country’s leading playwrights, April Phillips.
Together, we plan to write and produce a new quintessential Kiwi-themed stage musical, the title of which is based on one of Andrew’s most popular songs – Let’s Talk About Me.

Planning your content
A crowdfunding campaign needs a ton of content. For the 30 or so days of funding, you’ll be coaxing, cajoling and flirting with your crowd, asking for money, and you’ve got to come up with a fresh way to ask every day. You’ve got to keep it interesting, enticing and exciting.31 Aug 2024 -
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 -
