How can movie producers looking to shoot their films in New Zealand apply for investor visas?

I'm a movie producer looking to start a two-year long film shoot in New Zealand. What options do I have in this scenario if I am considering getting dual citizenship? Are there special criteria to follow during the covid season?

    It is possible for movie producers to apply for investor’s visa in New Zealand. For the Investor 2 visa category, the investment required is 3 million New Zealand dollars; you also need to have 3 years of business experience and you must meet a points test. For Investor 1 visa, the investment requirement is 10 million New Zealand dollars; there is no other condition.  If you have been physically present in New Zealand for a certain amount of time during the last 5 years of holding the residence visa, you can apply for New Zealand citizenship. New Zealand allows dual citizenship and one can even have multiple citizenship. Covid-19 conditions for visitors include having a negative Covid-19 test result and a voucher confirming a place in a managed isolation facility.
