BLOCKBUSTER EVENT TO
END 2006
SPEAKER
 Adam Elliot won the Oscar for a short
animated film titled ‘Harvie Krumpet’ featuring the voice of
Geoffrey Rush (another famous Australian actor). This film with
three others, ‘Uncle’; ‘Cousin’; and ‘Brother’ have been seen
in over 400 film festivals and have won over 100 awards! Adam has
won more awards than any other Australian director.
As he
shared his experiences of being nominated and finally going to
Hollywood, it became clear that the thing he worried most about
when getting on the plane, was forgetting to put in his dole form!
His journey was one of hope and excitement – a truly motivational
story!
SPECIAL
WINNERS
 Adam certainly WOWed the
audience of experienced business operators and our youth about to
embark on their careers. What a roomful of talent we had!
Students
from the I.D.E.A. Institute of Design were presented with
certificates and scholarships and because of the high standard of
entries in the animated film  segment; both James
Wilson and Liam Thorne shared the honour of winning the Adam Elliot
Trophy with their respective films, ‘The Kid’ and ‘High
Diving’.
 
DOOR
PRIZES
New member Jon Elam won the DVD player and recorder with others
sharing in a number of door prizes. Jon supports the Micro and HBB
sector by supplying loans for business equipment (computers,
printers etc) when traditional lenders will not consider them

record. His company “Fairy Godmother Finance” says it
all!
