Auckland based film companies Mopix and Republic films have united to

form a new company called ‘Automatic’ and have set up offices in the old

Carters building in Morningside. Automatic will represent the directors

Sigi Spath, Simon Mark-Brown, Greg Wood, Brian Challis, Mike Oldershaw,

Alyx Duncan, Fane Flaws and Tony Drayton as well as Australian directors

Mick Connolly and Darren Ashton. “We’ve all known each other for years”

says Producer Declan Cahill “and we’ve always got on with each other so

it made sense for us to join forces”. Republic’s Simon Mark-Brown also

says “the new strength in numbers means we can really dedicate ourselves

to the local market where we feel our loyalties truly lie.”
