Amanda Evans

With more than 25 years experience as a TV producer on both sides of the Tasman, Amanda Evans has worked in everything from comedy to documentary, children's programmes and current affairs.

As an independent producer, she focuses her energies on developing new TV formats and concepts for broadcast both locally, in New Zealand, and overseas. She also acts as a consultant to other independent producers, and on occasions, acts as a intermediary between them and the funding bodies and broadcasters in New Zealand. 

Amanda began her career as a TV producer with the ABC in Australia beginning in Children's Education programmes, and has an ongoing interest in education and training production. Along with major broadcast series for Australia, New Zealand and overseas, she has continued her relationship with selected clients, to develop and produce corporate videos and educational resources for children and families, workers and health consumers.

She combines a busy home life with two young sons, manages Pacific Screen in New Zealand and Australia, is planting an orchard, and squeezing in time to work on her mosaics.
