Episode 9: Meet the Experts – Stefan Roesch and The Lord of the Rings

Welcome to If You Film It They Will Come, the film tourism podcast. In this episode I am in conversation with Stefan Roesch, international film tourism expert, Manager of Film Dunedin and Co-Manager of Film Otago Southland in New Zealand's South Island, and a film producer. We discuss the different ways that people can be drawn to visit a film tourism location, Stefan’s top film tourism experiences, how locations can capitalise on film tourism connections, and also Wise Sam Gangees the upcoming Lord of the Rings-fandom inspired short film that Stefan is producing which celebrates the magic and friendship of fandom.
