DON'T STOP THE MUSIC
An inspiring social experiment about the power of music to change the lives of kids
Inspiring series that generates real results – over 8300 instruments were donated to the campaign
This uplifting series is a social experiment and important social impact campaign all rolled into one. Students in a school in Perth, Australia are given musical instruments to learn; some take to them immediately, while others need more convincing. Music star and Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian and music educator Dr. Anita Collins help encourage and inspire the kids over the months, workshopping songs one-on-one, and looking to draw out their hidden talent. As their confidence grows, and as the school learns to embrace its new musical culture, disruptive behavior is tempered, truants return to the classroom, and new opportunities are forged for the kids. This incredible journey culminates in a spectacular concert in front of an audience of families and friends. ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ reveals how music has the power to move us, inspire us and even transform lives.

HEARTBREAK ISLAND
Love and tactics explode in this hot reality series
A hit in New Zealand, across two seasons Contestants include Harry Jowsey, star of the smash hit reality series 'Too Hot to Handle'
In ‘Heartbreak Island’ the world of online dating goes offline, as contestants match and compete in a game of popularity only one couple can win – on the beautiful island of Fiji. At the start of the series, 12 singles choose prospective partners from a dating app. Pairs, matched through the app, then live and compete together in a series of physical challenges. Those who fail are eliminated – unless fellow competitors activate the ‘Playback’ option to save them. Each week contestants face a ‘Passion Play’, where they choose to stay with their partner, or stray to another contestant. In Season Two contestants also have the option to bring in a new contestant to partner with. You can forget loyalty; it takes tactics and manipulation to stay in this game. The last couple standing leave the island with the $100,000 cash prize. FACTUAL ENTERTAINMENT / REALITY
