Find what your project actually is, before it costs you to find out.
Development is where most projects are won or lost. We work with producers, writers, and broadcasters in the earliest stages to identify what makes a project distinctive, where the creative risks lie, and how to build a development slate that has genuine commercial and artistic coherence.
AGOR brings a working producer's eye to this: we know what a broadcaster needs to say yes, and what an audience needs to stay. We can help you shape a pitch, interrogate a concept, or map a path from idea to greenlight.
This service suits: Independent producers, broadcasters, and international co-producers in early development.
Get in touch →Notes that come from someone who has lived on both sides of the page.
As a working actress, Michelle has delivered scripts written by others. As a director and producer, she has commissioned and developed them. That dual experience produces a kind of feedback that purely theoretical script readers can't offer. It accounts for what lands in the room, not just on the page.
AGOR's script consultancy covers feature and series scripts at any draft stage. We focus on voice, structure, character, and the specific requirements of international co-production, including how a script travels across cultures.
This service suits: Writers seeking development notes, producers assessing attached scripts, and broadcasters evaluating commissions.
Get in touch →Series are built in the room. We've been in the room.
Breaking a series is collaborative, iterative, and demanding. AGOR offers experienced storylining support for scripted series and limited series, from initial concept through to episode-by-episode structure.
We bring particular strength in stories centred on underrepresented communities, genre-defying narratives, and content designed for both domestic and international markets. Our projects have screened at festivals across three continents. We know what a global audience looks for, and how to build for it without losing local specificity.
This service suits: Showrunners, head writers, and production companies developing series for broadcast or streaming.
Get in touch →Bridging creative and financial partnerships across territories.
Positioned between New Zealand and Los Angeles, with relationships across the Asia-Pacific and North America, AGOR is well-placed to facilitate genuine co-productions, not just co-financing arrangements, but creative partnerships built on shared vision and mutual benefit.
We can help identify compatible international partners, navigate treaty co-production requirements, and ensure the creative integrity of a project is maintained as it moves across territories. We have done this ourselves; we know where the complications arise, and how to pre-empt them.
This service suits: Producers seeking international partners, distributors looking to attach local production capability, and broadcasters with cross-territory mandates.
Get in touch →Get it right before the world tells you that you didn't.
Authentic representation is not just an ethical obligation. It is increasingly a commercial one. Audiences are sophisticated, communities are vocal, and the cost of getting it wrong is measurable.
AGOR offers cultural consultancy for productions working with Pacific, Asian, and diasporic stories and communities. This is distinct from general sensitivity reading: it is strategic, creative, and production-aware advice, delivered by a team that has made this kind of work, not merely studied it.
Michelle's own background, as a New Zealand-born actress of Chinese descent who has built a career across multiple international markets, informs a consultancy that is specific, practical, and grounded.
This service suits: Productions seeking authentic representation, international productions shooting in New Zealand or Australia, and broadcasters programming for diverse audiences.
Get in touch →Your numbers, across every territory you're working in.
Cross-territory production is financially complex. AGOR offers production accounting services with real experience across New Zealand and United States production environments, including familiarity with NZ screen incentive structures, SAG-AFTRA obligations, and the demands of international co-production budgets.
This is precise, reliable work. We bring the same standards to the ledger that we bring to the screen.
This service suits: Producers working across NZ/US or NZ/Australian territories, international productions accessing NZ screen incentives, and co-productions requiring multi-currency budget management.
