Open Your Mind

Admin — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:55:00 +0000

After travelling down the east coast of NSW and the west coast of California, JJ has lived & breathed Dave Rastovich’s quest to bring attention to endangered and treasured marine mammals. The next evolution of this journey is the release and subsequent Australian tour of “Minds in the Water” a film that documents the actions of Dave and his associates.

The film outlines how Dave went from an ocean minded admirer to an ocean activist when he embarked on a personal mission to help stop the worldwide commercial slaughter of dolphins and whales. While unsure at first, Dave quickly found his activist sea legs and helped build a core team of filmmakers, journalists, musicians, eco-pirates, celebrity surfers and even a professional mermaid to help spread the message.

If you care for the ocean…this is one not to miss, check out the trailer below and follow the links for cinema screenings.

With the Australian summer that never was (in Sydney at least and it seems most of Australia), it might be a little premature to look forward to winter. The team at Ben Sherman have other thoughts though with the release of the Autumn Winter range for 2012, just hitting shelves. The brand continues its strong Men’s and Women’s lines, with knits, jackets and suits de jour. Check the latest in flagship stores, Myers and David Jones.

532 attendees descended in style on Doltone House in Sydney on Friday 9th March to raise funds for our awesome charity partner – Surfaid. Amongst stellar performances from Tim Finn, The Beautiful Girls & DJ Goodwill was some stirring speeches from Surfaid’s founder Dr Dave and a thoroughly engaging, entertaining presentation from big wave Maestro Mark Mathews (pictured).

Seems the mix of tequila, vodka, fine food, wine and a boisterous crowd saw the audience dig deep, with $260 000.00 raised on the night. The entire team at Premium Media would like to thank our suppliers and sponsors who helped us to deliver the event and a great financial result for the charity. Yep we now owe all of you favours!

More Music, More Wine!

The Hunter Valley wine district north of Sydney in NSW is going to extend the frequency and amount of large scale music events the region hosts in 2012. Premium Media constructed and submitted DA plans on behalf of the Roche Group for The Tempus Two Winery site to host concerts up to 8000 PAX.

Tempus Two Winery is centrally located on the cnr of Broke & McDonald roads, with excellent infrastructure within the property, including a sloped, grassy ampitheatre, restaurants and bars.

Cessnock Council has approved plans for Eight events per year for the next three years. However Premium Media has just submitted a section 96 amendment for indefinite approval in line with Council’s decision to grant similar approval to a property in the Valley. We’ll keep you updated on the progress.
