Photo: SuppliedProducer Matt Noonan, who was behind Hunt for the Wilderpeople, reckons Christchurch is "perfect" for his latest film project and the region “has tonnes of potential for screen production”. The city's new motorways played an integral part in the decision to use Christchurch for the planned road movie.
