Media contact

We are more than happy to be interviewed, discuss ideas and give opinions on a range of paranormal-related topics. James Gilberd is the main spokesperson and self-confessed 'media whore' for the paranormal interest group New Zealand Strange Occurrences Society. Members of the group have been involved in a number of television and radio productions, newspaper features, and also student films and other documentary- and art-based projects, and we are happy and willing to do more.

We would be interested in providing a consulting/advisory service for film, theatre and television, regarding screen or stage portrayals of paranormal events and/or the investigation of the paranormal. We're not out to make money out of such a service, so please feel free to contact us about your project. Confidentiality is assured.

Please contact James Gilberd, co-founder and leader of The New Zealand Strange Occurrences Society. Note: James can be contacted more directly at Photospace - 1st floor, 37 Courtenay Place, Wellington 6011.
