Day 1 - Quest for Jackie Chan in Brisbane

Oh dear, after two nights of sleeplessness in Western Sydney, I dragged my coffeed up body to the airport at an early 4am. I was feeling it. Its was happening, "The Quest" that I dreamt up and now being a mover and shaker had to embark on it. Amongst me were all these other suited business people, all either heading home or to work and all leering me as I strutt around the air port with all camera gear and all.

The first meeting was with Colin Fong, a film student from QUT who found out about the quest via his university noticeboard and wanted to also join in the fun. We had a newspaper photoshoot with the Southern Star and that was good fun as the photographer kept snapping to find the seller shot. He was pressed on about having a Jackie Chan picture in the background so poor Colin had to rummage through his house for a couple of old school JC DVDs to blue tack to the wall.

Our first meeting was with Andrew Leavold from Trash Video (Australia's largest cult video store) and as much as he is a little wacky, he a really cool and retold his journey on "The Search for Weng Weng" (A Filipino midget martial artist) and shared his pain of how mainstream networks don't get these kinds of personal stories.

Then we had a meeting with Shilpa from the Ethnic Communities Council Queensland who spoke about the culturally diverse and their representation in mainstream Australian media.

Colin then had a lecture at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) before we head for our last meeting for the day at 8pm with the Urban Action Parkour group.

Woah...big first day....I got home at 11pm...and seriously crashed...
