Samantha Shannon
Kia ora! My name is Sam and I am an Auckland-based theatre maker hailing from Dunedin. I studied a Bachelor of Performing Arts (and a Bachelor of Laws) at the University of Otago before moving to Auckland in 2020. After a quick stint as a lawyer and a slightly longer stint as a public servant, I am now (as of June 2023) taking the leap into the arts to pursue what I love most. I am passionate about creating high-quality art that helps people to fully experience and better understand their own rich emotional worlds, and brings JOY into people's lives, as this is what art has done for me.

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 -
