SR. Hi guys, nice to meet you. General question before jump into ‘Goddess’. As an australian production, developing a musical, and with all the talen around today, what would you say is the forecast for the Aussie film industry?
RK. (Richard Keddie). Wow great great and complicated question…! Actually i think is looking very well, I think the base is already set up for new upcoming projects.

ML. Well the major filming is done, we finish a couple of weeks ago and it has been a fantastic process with all the team, we are currently working in post production and there is some great material there.
SR. Ronan (Keating), How hard was for you to get involved in a musical movie? How did you prepare yourself for this?
RK. (Ronan Keating). Yeah, I`d a great time…everyone was great to me you know, they made me feel at home every minute. You know, I`d approached this movie the same way I approached to a music video, writing a song or any similar thing to my music career with an open mind and an open heart, walking in a room and trying to be myself.
SR. Any favourite film for the night?
ML. Red Dog is looking very well there
