The movers and shakers of kiwi entertainment have attempted to raise the profile of the New Zealand film industry with a pre-Oscars bash.
The New Zealand Consul-General in Los Angeles Darryl Dunn hosted the party, ahead of the Academy Awards tomorrow.
He says it was necessary to capitalise on the success of Lord of the Rings and Whale Rider.
Mr Dunn says a good range of people from the Hollywood film industry were at the bash.
New Zealanders at the party included Peter Jackson, Roger Donaldson, Rachel Hunter, Lucy Lawless and Dave Dobbyn.
