TV drama producer Gibson exits own company
WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- One of New Zealand's top TV drama producers, Dave Gibson, has quit the company he founded 28 years ago. Gibson was the managing director of the Gibson Group until he announced his exit to shocked staff on Friday, leaving his former wife and fellow shareholder and director, Yvonne Mackay, in sole charge. Gibson declined to comment on why he resigned but it's believed to be over a shareholding dispute. He told The Hollywood Reporter he was sad to be leaving the company he founded but stressed it wasn't for financial reasons. "The company is in sound financial health," he said. He said he was not quitting the industry. His departure follows one of the busiest and most honored production periods for the Gibson Group. Its most recent success, "The Insiders Guide to Happiness," won seven of this year's New Zealand Screen Awards, including best drama series.
