The final hurdle...... the tea's for us begins in April. Over 3 hundred hours already spent on graphics alone for the screens, then posters, trailers, t- shirts, tickets, banners (fb and 3 meter wide ones plus more. And that's just us. There's choreography being produced, dancers learning routines, costumes being sewn. on the tech side, lighting and audio being ordered and programmed, staff being arranged and (not enough) beer being ordered. All of this happens before the first nominee is even nominated or the first troll spouts off! It is a massive undertaking so a huge shout to all involved in this production. Chris Elkington well done sir. As to the nominees (all 40 plus of you), who ever you may be. Congratulations. (We find the same time as you lol) then we can replace "awaiting photo" and "awaiting name" with something REAL. Around 90 hours of work left to do. People often ask me why I'm so passionate about the tea's. I have a background in production as well as performance and this really is a HUGE thing to pull off..... from our part, I genuinely hope you love what we have produced on the screens this year. (A year of experience later) I always try to up our game. I do wonder what we will know next year. Finally, I can't show enough appreciation for my right arm, my sounding board, my partner in crime and bloody talented lady, Chelsea Anne Philpott . A 1000 thankyous for making my imagination a reality. Love you. Enjoy the day people, it going to be marvellous.
