Three Key Elements of Building an Awesome Documentary
I really enjoyed watching Mega Builders “Episode 23: Floating Bridge” about a bridge in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.

NIDA – Completing a Production
During my life I have always loved acting and public speaking. NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Arts) has really helped me improve these skills.

Yesterday I was interviewed by Peter Dick and Mary Collier on Brisbane Radio 4BC
This time was different to my last interview. This time there was no warm up, they rang my house and said “Is this this the residence of Eve Cogan” No one has ever said that, so my mum said “What?” I came out of the shower and into the phone interview for Breakfast with Peter…
