WIN IT! East West 101 & WIN the series on DVD

Congratulations to my work pal Aisha Kamara and her debut role on SBS channel TV Series "East West 101". Aisha is a natural actress and has no prior training whatsoever and to see her score such a emotionally dramatic role on this mainstream show was a breath of fresh air. Aisha dropped into my workplace last week and was retelling her experiences on the set. The line of being at the right place at the right time is important here, as Aisha scored this gig after networking at an ICE film event last year. She met the producer and the rest is history.

ICE is giving away a DVD pack on the series if you can answer this question: If you were a detective, what would your nickname be? Be creative, spontaneous etc....

What happened during the war in the opium fields of the Chora Valley in Afghanistan and the collateral damage to civilians in Takrit in Northern Iraq, comes home to the main streets of Lakemba and the malls of Cabramatta.
