Rob's first CD-ROM, Kaz Cooke's totallyGORGEOUS, won a New York Short Film Festival Jury Prize and was nominated for an EMMA. Film Australia commissioned Rob to convert it to a site. Check it out at www.completelyGorgeous.com.au The CD-ROM and site are based on Kaz's best seller Real Gorgeous and her AFI award winning film Gorgeous. (Yes. I think Kaz now own's the word 'gorgeous'. And so she should!)

Deadly Bay: Open For Work
Deadly Bay is an educational CD-ROM for young indigenous people entering the work force produced with NSW TAFE and the Aboriginal Programs Unit of the Sydney University of Technology for ANTA (the Australian National Training Authority).
The program provides interactive language, literacy and numeracy activities set in an on-the-job scenario in the seafood, hospitality, horticulture, tourism and community recreation industries.
Feedback has been very positive and the 'Fat Boy Slim Dusty' soundtrack of 'programmed' country and western seems to be very popular with the kids.
