Summary: In the latest of occasional series where we talk to influential New Zealanders about the individuals, writers and thinkers who have influenced them, we speak to pioneering movie and TV producer John Barnett. There could hardly be a single New Zealander who hasn't enjoyed one of the many Kiwi culture-defining projects he's been involved with. These projects range from Fred Dagg and the National Business Review to Whale Rider and Outrageous Fortune, not to mention the hit Song Slice of Heaven and our longest running soap Shortland Street.
