Wow! Where do I start!It certainly has been a long time since my last blog.... here's a recap of what's currently happening :1. As some of you know, I am currently directing my first feature film called
"Distance Runners" which will aim to start principle production Mid Nov... so right now it's all about : Casting, Locations, scrīpt, Production Schedules, etc, etc, etc.... We're shooting on the new RED SYSTEM which was the same Camera System used to film Angelina Jolie's latest film "WANTED". We'll be filming in both Shanghai and Yunnan2. My first book is currently being published! It's called
"The IX Invaluables to Auditioning (& Succeeding!)... I'll give you more information and ways to get your own copy! It should be published and released by mid-October
3. I am doing my very first TV SHOW with the Shanghai English Channel ICS. I'm basically the Host for a TV Music Programme called
"Everlasting Favourites" (yeah I know, the name sucks! It's their choice NOT mine!) You can watch the show every Wednesday, 20:00 on ICS or check out this website :
www.icshanghai.com (and click "Watch ICS Online" on the right top hand corner)
4. My Startup company
www.AskBenny.Cn has just got additional funding and we are now in the process of expansion and growth, re-launching the brand and the website Jan 9th, 2009! Funnily enough, due to the stricter visa issues in China, many Mandarin Languages Companies are closing here in Shanghai, we on the other hand are expanding! So I'm absolutely thrilled! Benny now reigns NUMBER 1 on the keyword "Learn Chinese" on YouTube
5. I have my concert on OCTOBER 29th called
MUSICAL MOMENTS on Hong Kong, so I will be flying to Hong Kong on the 19th of OCT... so anyone in HK interested in coming to watch our show, just let me know
Apart from the fact that I have given up Alcohol for the next 9 years, (yes.. NINE YEARS!) that's about a complete update on my life!I had the priviledge to catch up with the AnD guys last night at RACKS Shanghai and had a blast! Here are some pics from the event!Oh, by the way, you'll notice one of the faces in the pics (No, Not RAFFI!!!) It's
PAN XIAO TING, China's No. 1 "9 BALL CHAMPION" and ranked 3rd in the World who I am now teaching Singing here in Shanghai. I tried a game or three against her.... and yes .... I lost!Keep Rocking and Keep following your dreams,Robert
