Star-studded Campion shoot starts in Queenstown - 03 February 2012

"Auckland-based Philippa Campbell (Black Sheep), of Escapade Pictures, told the Otago Daily Times the television miniseries Top of the Lake was "a very ambitious project" with a "top-notch team" assembled around Campion, who was now in the resort, and co-director Australian Garth Davis.

The fictional six-part series will be shot on remote private and public locations around Queenstown over 16 weeks.
