With the sun shining and the breeze blowing across Lake Macquarie, Raffety’s Resort was a great location for Hidden Door to turn the tables on the Warner Bros staff and challenge them to a Tropfest style Short Film Festival.
The day started off by creating the movie sets, using aerosol art a.k.a Graffiti. Each team learnt some tips and tricks under the guidance of our professional artists and created Sci-Fi, Western and Horror scenes.
Conference rooms were transformed into film studios and employees into actors, make-up artists, script writers, cameramen and directors. With the help of professional film directors each group shot their short film with hilarious results.
Starting the day with the “building” of the sets was perfect as everyone started to get into the genre of their short film straight away. Having the experts help with the filming was brilliant and made a huge difference to the “professionalism” of the films. It was a great day all round and the staff have not stopped talking about it yet.

Putting a little sparkle into an Entertainment Industry Leader.
Having left the Sydney Entertainment Centre bright and early bound for the Hunter Valley, the group from Arena Management, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Sydney Entertainment Centre, were set for 2 days of fun and relaxation. First up a bit of team bonding; armed with cameras and a team mobile phone, each team set off to conquer challenges throughout the Hunter Valley. Text messages gave them glues that led to activities including a helicopter flight, 18holes of putt putt golf, martial arts instruction and cheese and wine tasting. During each activity, the team had to complete a challenge, such as matching wine to descriptions, snapping landmarks from the helicopter and breaking planks of wood with a single karate kick!
The teams earned a reward, so we treated them to a private dinning experience at The Rock restaurant. Pre dinner entertainment was in the form of a cooking demonstration and wine tasting conducted by renowned winemaker Usher Tinkler. A lazy morning followed a good night sleep at Peppers Guest House, then it was off to Petersons Champagne House for lunch and a light hearted wine appreciation from owner and head winemaker Colin Peterson. A fantastic way to celebrate a milestone and as Colin Peterson says “Life would be flat without bubbles”.

December is always a busy time of year, so it’s a good idea to start planning Christmas parties well ahead of time. This not only saves you a lot of stress and rush, but also ensures you have access to the best venues, decoration and catering options, at the best prices.
Step 1: Choose the right venue
- If the event is to be a large staff Christmas party, you need to consider how your guests will get home, and may need to hold the party near public transport
- If the party will go late and some guests live a long way from the venue, you may need to provide overnight accommodation, or host the party in a hotel
- Choose a venue to suit the number of guests: if it’s a small, intimate gathering, possibly a private room in a restaurant will suit
Step 2: Give some thought to food
- If you’re serving alcoholic drinks, serve some food as well to prevent the inevitable from happening
- Consider your guests’ possible dietary requirements, such as people with allergies, or vegetarians
- People often attend several functions during the Christmas season, so try to keep your menu creative and unique
Step 3: Plan appropriate entertainment
- Ensure any entertainers you book have a full brief well before the event, and are aware of what you hope to achieve
- Factor in rest time for the entertainers. This may include providing them with a light meal
- Ensure all audio-visual and lighting requirements are factored in, and give the venue and suppliers a running order of the event that is both realistic and practical
