Australian actors Bridie Carter and Myles Pollard invite you to join them ONLINE and look forward to sharing, for the first time with a global audience, the intimate and never before heard details of how their film project, A Walk In The Park by Robert Lewis Vaughan eventuated, and the launch of their new production company Homeland Entertainment. They will also reveal candid details of their journeys so far both personally and professionally, including their work on celebrated television shows such as Home and Away, 800 Words and of course their memorable roles of Nick and Tess on Mc`Leod's Daughters.

2020 is a time like no other, and amidst the continuing chaos of this unchartered pandemic, earlier this year, Bridie and Myles began a global search for a story they could take to the world in new and innovative ways that would be a gift, a reprieve and some entertainment during the dramatic change the world was/is experiencing.

In quite extraordinary circumstances, a unique situation occurred and they were offered a play written especially for them by an American writer they had never even met.

This online event will help Bridie and Myles bring their film A Walk In The Park to global audiences so they can celebrate love, life and family through the the eyes of married couple, Jessica and Gavin - who reminisce about that first fleeting glance, that first tender kiss and that first walk in the park…The love story, that is their life.

BRIDIE CARTER: "I am so excited to be gathering together with our fans and friends, who I think of as family, from all over the world, at one moment in time to share what has been a most extraordinary year. I can't wait to tell you all about A Walk In The Park, an incredibly beautiful, hopeful and entertaining story that I am just so honoured to be a part of. So, grab a hot chocolate, a glass of champagne or an orange juice (depending on what time it is in your part of the world!) and celebrate Christmas with us! I really can't wait."

MYLES POLLARD: "What a crazy, tumultuous and at times frightening ride 2020 has been. The world was turned on its head for everybody including Bridie and myself. As fate would have it a beautiful piece of writing came to us that was a gentle reminder about what it means to be human, what's really important in this life and how everything we need may just be right in front of us. We can't wait to chat with you all about our new project, the amazing moments Bridie and I shared onscreen and everything in between."
