Reason 6: our television experience

In 2006, Carl and Mark Productions produced the first season of Taekwon-Do Television for ITFNZ Taekwon-Do. Taekwon-Do Television was produced as an eight week half hour series, and also as a two hour special.

Carl and Mark Productions is Carl Matthews and Mark Banicevich - from the 2011 World Championships Bid Team. This first foray into television was a major learning curve for them both, and for ITFNZ Taekwon-Do.

In 2007, Carl and Mark Productions will produce the second season of Taekwon-Do Television: National Championships 2007. It will be a much smoother ride in 2007, following the lessons learned as newbies in 2006.

By 2011, ITFNZ Taekwon-Do and Carl and Mark Productions will be veterans. We plan to sell a World Championships television series and special to major New Zealand networks, and make it available internationally to your respective countries.
