What we can do
At Druce, we specialise in full service production and logistics. Supporting crews across Aotearoa and beyond.
Production Management
Full Production Management and Line Producing for film, TV, documentary, drama and audio / podcast production. We handle scheduling, crew bookings, on location logistics, Health and Safety planning, and day to day budget oversight. Clear financial reporting, tight workflows and a calm, organised set. Keeping your production on track creatively and financially.
Funding & Delivery
We navigate NZFC and NZ On Air funding and build detailed budgets, from the leanest, fast turnaround projects to seven figure productions. We manage cost reports and industry standard financial reporting, forecasting accurately throughout production. We also handle final delivery to broadcasters, streamers and distributors. Ensuring your project lands exactly where it needs to, with tidy paperwork to match.
Fixer Services
Based in Taranaki, we support documentary, commercial and scripted productions with location scouting, permitting, iwi engagement, local crew sourcing and on the ground logistics across New Zealand.
Creative Partners
Two decades of freelancing means a deep, trusted network. The best documentary directors, the funniest comedy writers, a gaffer who knows how to light a stylised interview, an engaging voiceover for children's TV. We know the people, and who works well together. Right down to who's got the best gear for the job. We love pulling a great team together.
Consultancy
Expert advice on budgeting, workflows, scheduling, staffing, remote production fix setups and scaling your production pipeline. We also provide duty of care guidance for documentaries and reality TV, including contributor wellbeing, safe interviewing processes and ethical production practices. And for agencies and studios picking up more production and video work than they can manage in-house, we can run project delivery, logistics and workflow across multiple jobs at once, so your team stays focused on the creative, not the moving parts. Ideal for small teams, first time producers, growing agencies, or productions needing an outside eye.
Production Rescue
When productions hit challenges or start to lose momentum, we stabilise workflows, restructure budgets and schedules, fix cost overruns, and get your shoot or post production back on track. We've been the call that steadies things when a production has hit a snag. Stepping in with fresh eyes, sorting out what's actually going wrong, and getting things moving again. If that's where you're at, get in touch.
Deliverables
Burnt out after the final cut? We take over your entire deliverables process. Export scripts, SRT caption files, metadata, masters and full streamer / broadcaster specs for NZ On Air, RNZ, TVNZ, KIDOGO, Sky and international distributors.
Event Management
Production management and delivery support for events of all scales. From corporate and community events to complex, high profile live productions, including the Vodafone NZ Music Awards and live, made for TV comedy specials. With experience across large national awards shows, live broadcast events and multi stakeholder productions, we bring rigorous scheduling, budget control, supplier and AV coordination, and calm leadership to events across Taranaki and beyond.
