They call this
retirement

Recent Media program faculty
retirees, Beverley Reid and

Peter Kellington, have just returned
from Vietnam where they were
filming a documentary on street/
beach kids in the coastal city of
Nha Trang. They were there with
two recent graduates from the
Media program, Brett Harvey

and Andrew Millard. Both were
with Peter and Beverley in Vietnam
for five weeks, shooting almost
every day. “It was not an easy
shoot and both Brett and Andrew
were spot on professional, especially
when the shoot was stopped by
the police and the crew were grilled
for two and a half hours about
what they were ‘really’ filming in
Nha Trang,” Peter says. Brett and
Andrew as well as Mike Dowding
from the Media faculty were in
Nicaragua in August with Peter
and Beverley to shoot a film about
Eric Blackburn and his remarkable
World Kid’s Voyage. The shoot
required some of the crew to ride
horses and others to ride in a
wooden ox cart for three hours
through the jungle and through a
number of rivers to reach the little
village of Congrejo. Eric had been
instrumental in getting the first ever
school built in that remote village.
