Day 2 - Our New York adventure started with a 2am visit to the hospital for one of our students Sam Pacitorusconi. He caught one of his fingers in the door as it shut and very nearly left it there! After x-rays, needles and expert advice, Sam was bandaged up with no serious injury and given the all clear. Phew!

DAY 1... After months of waiting, our '14 day study tour' to New York finally became a reality. 4 teachers and 10 students from Randwick TAFE Screen & Media dept are in New York as part of the Going Global Initiative to help students network globally for their career advancement.

We are here to attend the Tribecca Film Festival, meet film students from our sister college BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College) and collaborate with them on a Rom-Com Musical short film, written by our teams' director PHIL MOORE and I'm on board as Supervising Cinematographer.

"After 'Marry me Zac' pierces my eardrums, I'm thinking images of Zac Efron in a sex scene with Taylor Schilling will be a crowd pleaser" ...Naomi

"I enjoyed every minute of this Romantic comedy" ... Naomi

"A visual feast, feel good film, with ongoing 'laugh out loud' moments.  I highly recommend it"

I saw this film yesterday with my Mum and one of my best friends, it was my birthday. We went to the Ettalong 'Cinema Paradiso', on the Central Coast. I particularly like the little glass booths for families with babies, a 12 week old was in there enjoying (sleeping through) his first film and we didn't hear a peep. Later we consumed a 'well plated' mushroom stir fry, ice cream and passion fruit, Lindt balls and Swisse Giandor chocolate and a gorgeous Australian Penola Estate, Coonawara 2008 Merlot... perfect. Tonight will be the second half of my celebrations, I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

"MIRROR MIRROR is a fantasy full of humour, spectacular costumes and an enchanting cast."

Excited, it's movie time... my absolute favourite thing... or maybe on par with fine dining. And I'm travelling an hour and a half to get there - it's MIRROR MIRROR with Julia Roberts, I'm a big fan. The travel is alright, it allows me time to think, write, read and plot.

I'd rather see films in the cinema than on DVD. I like the event of it - the audience reactions, the choc tops and the chat afterward. I'm just thinking I'll share with you my 3 favourite cinemas in Australia.
