Roger Donaldson is attached to direct two projects, a feature doc and a feature, inspired by the lives of two famous Kiwis.
McLaren will profile Bruce McLaren, the Formula One champion who won the Us Grand Prix when he was 23, the youngest ever to do so.
The Guinea Pig Club will chronicle the story of renegade plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe, who revolutionised the treatment of burns victims during WW2.
The New Zealand Film Commission has offered conditional investment to both projects. Donaldson has already shot some footage for McLaren, using Nzfc development funds.
The Nzfc is also co-funding The Patriarch, just the second Kiwi feature from director Lee Tamahori, who broke through with Once Were Warriors in 1994.
Due to shoot on March 24, the drama is scripted by John Collee, based on Whale Rider author Witi Ihimaera's novel Bulibasha. The protagonist is the youngest son of a huge extended Maori family of shearers,...

The New Zealand Film Commission has launched several measures to help emerging writers, directors and producers to make features.
One initiative is Premiere Pathways, a new fund which will provide up to $NZ500,000 to help get features into production. Applicants can submit a short film, concept reel, scenes, a teaser trailer and a second-draft script.
Another fund will help talented teams coming out of the 48Hours competition to get features into production.
Nzfc CEO Dave Gibson announced the measures at the Big Screen Symposium in Auckland last Sunday.
.I am not convinced that the pathways have been clear or open to new talent,. he said. .I am not convinced that we have been good at identifying that talent. And I am not convinced that we have been able to help people move forward quickly and well..

A new project from the producer of Whale Rider, an adaptation of a Us book and a Chinese-Australian co-production are to be pitched in the UK after being selected by Melbourne’s 37º South Market.
The three films will be pitched at the UK’s Production Finance Market (Pfm) in October following a positive response at the seventh edition of 37º South, which runs as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival.
New Zealand producer Tim Sanders is to pitch The Guinea Pig Club at Pfm and received $1,850 (A$2,000) from sponsor Film Finances to help cover expenses.
After learning he would be heading to London for Pfm (Oct 16-17), Sanders told ScreenDaily: “It is the story of a Kiwi surgeon called Archie McIndoe who restored the bodies of badly injured fighter pilots in World War II and also gave them the will to live and hope for the future.

San Francisco (AP) — When Steve Jobs adopted "think different" as Apple's mantra in the late 1990s, the company's ads featured Albert Einstein, Bob Dylan, Amelia Earhart and a constellation of other starry-eyed oddballs who reshaped society.
Nolan Bushnell never appeared in those tributes, even though Apple was riffing on an iconoclastic philosophy he embraced while running video game pioneer Atari in the early 1970s. Atari's refusal to be corralled by the status quo was one of the reasons Jobs went to work there in 1974 as an unkempt, contemptuous 19-year-old. Bushnell says Jobs offended some Atari employees so much that Bushnell eventually told Jobs to work nights when one else was around.
Bushnell, though, says he always saw something special in Jobs, who evidently came to appreciate his eccentric boss, too. The two remained in touch until shortly before Jobs died in October 2011 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
