The best Martin Lawrence movies and TV shows started out thanks to his television roles, but he actually got his first big break thanks to Spike Lee. While he was mostly involved in boxing when he was in school, he started working as a comedian when he got out of school and actually began to make a living working standup shows. This led to Martin moving to New York City and joining The Improv, which got him a role on Star Search. That was his true big break, as it got him noticed in Hollywood.

This earned him the attention of Spike Lee, who gave Lawrence his first movie role in the award-winning Do The Right Thing. After this, he got roles in movies like House Party and Boomerang, and he finally was able to get his own starring role when he signed on to star in the comedy sitcom Martin.

The New Zealand International Film Festival has appointed veteran programmer Paolo Bertolin as its new artistic director. The festival, which travels around the country, will return in July and August, but stop in just four places.

The announcement follows the release of the festival’s ten-year strategy document, “Te Ahua o te Whanau Marama,” in November 2023, in which the organization acknowledged the significant impact of operating within the challenging climate of a global pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis and outlined its plans to adapt the festival to ensure its future viability.

They include: Ant Timpson, programmer of the Incredibly Strange sidebar; Nziff senior programmer Sandra Reid; animation programmer Malcolm Turner; Square Eyes programmer who oversaw children’s and educational content Nic Marshall; and Chinese and East Asian film programmer Vicci Ho.

The New Zealand International Film Festival will return to an in-person event this year, but in a scaled-down format. It will operate in multiple cities between July 28 and Sept. 4, 2022.

Management explained the downsizing as both a reaction to the impact of Covid-19 and as a means to bouncing back bigger in 2023.

It operated as a hybrid festival in 2020 and then in 2021 in cinemas in 11 towns and cities. But it was forced to cancel screenings in Auckland and Hamilton due to the last year’s lockdowns. Capacity reductions in other venues “had a significant impact on our gross revenue.”

The 2022 festival will visit Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Hawke’s Bay, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Masterton, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin and Gore.

The temporary format means fewer films, fewer venues (particularly in Auckland and Wellington), a shorter duration in each city, a smaller team delivering the festival and reduced above-the-line marketing activity.
