I have received a request for a referral for a member in the UK who is looking to make a video about the All Blacks. If you are able to help then let me know and I will pass on the contact information. In the meantime – here is what he is asking for:
Hi Graham,
How’s things?
I was talking to a member of one of our BNI Chapters in London, Robin Bailey.
Robin is ex BBC Sports broadcasting and now is a professional video producer – and comes very highly recommended.
His next quest is to produce a video based around the Rugby World Cup and has asked for some assistance with connections in NZ.
This is from Robin:
With regard to the All Blacks documentary for the next world cup if you can find a number for Keith Quinn and TV NZ that would be a great start. The people we’d like to talk to are David Kirk, Jonah Lomu, ex captains Brooke and Fitzpatrick, if Graham Mourie is still around I’d like to speak to him from his invincible era. We are hoping the film is distributed to the main rugby playing nations including the UK and the other area of interest is someone who is keen to sponsor the film. Commissioners are more and more keen to have “paid-for” programmes presented to them. We will have All Blacks sponsor Adidas on board and we will try to do a deal with them, but there may be a rugby nut CEO there who is willing to put in some money.
We anticipate this will be a film for the In-Flight market and possibly DVD domestically as well as for the broadcasters. So the exposure should be good.
I just wondered if you or your Director team have any connections into the Ex All Blacks or Broadcasters which may be able to help

I work with Grant Nisbett (commentator on rugby) – I can ask for him to speak with Keith Quinn – if you want.
Let me know.
That sounds great. Let me know how you get on and if he is open to this I can put him in touch with the UK flimmaker.

Thanks Sonja, Graham,
We are currently talking to Adidas and if we get their support, the project will get going. We would be coming to NZ for a three week period during the Tri-Nations ideally, before the All Blacks come to the UK in October.

I’m a producer in Nelson, NZ and can supply crew to you if needed. I’d be more than happy to help, The first recognised game of rugby played in New Zealand took place in Nelson, 1870. In 2011 Nelson will be hosting three games.

Sorry didn’t see this post – will speak to the guys this weekend and get back to you
Hi Robin – I’ve spoken with one of the Rugby Directors at Sky TV who’s going to contact Keith Quinn & Grant Nisbett for you. He also suggested that you deal with Sky as they are the Host Broadcaster and only Rugby broadcaster for the last decade of any note in NZ.
You’re welcome to contact me directly on: info@riobravo.co.nz instead of going through the blog.
As soon as I have any further info, which will hopefully be in a day or so, I’ll send it onto you.
Cheers – Sonja
