barakat paul PAUL BARAKAT

It is no secret that Paul Barakat's talent within the industry goes way beyond just the art of acting! He has been an editor, writer, producer and a fine director - to name but a few of his skills! At present he has released his feature film "KAIROS" about a young lad with physical disabilities who wants to be a boxer. It has won awards for Best Film at both the Tertio Millinio Film Festival in Rome and the Lebanese Film Festival in Australia, as well as nominations at a variety of others. Well done Paul.

It took place at the Sydney Philharmonia Choir Hall, Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay.

Elliott has been extremely busy. After playing Sonny in the feature film "The Exchange" directed by Jerome Kattampallil, he then took on various characters in a production of Hamlet directed by George Lazaris. Moved straight into Alison's House directed by Julie Baz, playing the journalist Richard Knowles, before working as a 1st A.D. on a series that is being pitched to network TV called Made For This, created by Dom DiMento & Steven Carnuccio, directed by Aaron Warwick.

Janine Penfold

Janine always seems to be in the thick of it. She has performed in the "Mountain Voices Project" for the Weatherboard Theatre Inc. doing 3 public readings at the Carrington Hotel Katoomba - directed by Andy McDonell, with some strong actors in it. Besides theatre, Janine seems to make the switch to screen with ease. She is constantly on TV especially fronting up on the Morning Shows for Channel 7, Channel 9 or Channel 10 in advertorial recordings for RFEA. Janine does have a persuasive manner. Well done Janine!

Adam Hatz has been busy again

Adam Hatz has been busy again as he always is. Just finished working in the feature film "The Exchange" where he not only played one of the lead roles but also was the producer on the film. Never asked him how he separated "figures and dates" from getting inside his character. But that's Adam! Another taxing gig was the play, "Tesla: Uncoiled" where he also directed and performed one of the leads. Also worked on the development of “Counting and Cracking” by playwright S. Shaktidharan, with director Eamon Flack and a team of theatre artists appointed by Playwriting Australia and Belvoir Street Theatre. Adam also had a week filming for Beyond Productions playing the lead role of Dr Joseph Roncaioli in a Docu Drama called “Your Number’s Up”. This was directed by John Mavety. We do hope that Adam’s number is not up as yet and more exciting work from him is on the way.
