Ada Nicodemou with Christian Bowman

Friday night was the big night in Australia and New Zealand for the Not-For-Profit sector. I was invited to document this event by the PR Manager for the Not-For-Profit Network in Shane Tyler Greaves, who was is a colleague of mine. This was the inaugural awards and red carpet event at Warner Brothers Movie World on the Gold Coast.

Awards highlighted and recognised the achievements of not-for-profit organisations, people and projects over the past 12 months.

“Hollywood on the Gold Coast” was looking spectaular, with an empty theme park and a large red carpet at the entry for all the guests. However the rain had set in and made the grand entry less than ideal, especially for the media group.

I took 2 others who were part of my team, and due to the short notice, I decided I’d give video interviewing a stab. Bianca and Marc, who I both waterski with came down to film and shoot with me at this event.

Check out the event photography Bianca and I took down on the gold coast here.

Barry Crocker with Christian Bowman

This event attracted several high profile celebrities including Ada Nicodemou, Barry Crocker, Angry Anderson, Cosima De Vito, Andrew Mercado, Paula Duncan, Diana Anaid, Luda Kroiter, Oliver Pineda, Nerida Lee, Mike Kerry, Lynn Santer, and co-hosts of “The Shak” Kendal “Picasso” Nagorcka and Beau “Nitro” Walker plus many more.

I caught up with some of the celebrities as they came down the red carpet, and asked them a few questions about their support for not-for-profit events.

I then challenged them in a thumb wrestle on-camera for a bit of fun.

Cosima De Vito with Christian Bowman

This is the first time I’ve done on-camera interviews other than my podcasts, it was great fun and next time I’ll do my research!!!
