Currently on a short break from filming Shortland Street, Beth Allen (Dr. Brooke Freeman) appeared on TVNZ’s Good Morning show on 20th Sptember to promote Basement Fest 2011, a festival of art, comedy and performance happening at the Basement Theatre (which is co-managed by Beth) in Auckland during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The timing of the event is great as visitors for the Rugby tournament who are looking to sample cultural treats from NZ will be getting quality local entertainment. Aswell as being a treat for those who are bored of the Rugby already and looking for an escape!
In the interview Beth also talks about her and Charlie’s new arrival, a four legged friend, Ned the Pinscher/Poodle :) Check out the interview below or on TVNZ…
A full programme of events can be found on the Basement website. With thanks to Lotus for the info and BethAllen.Webs for uploading the vid on YouTube :)

Check out the showreel for Ari Boyland below… Ari starred in The Tribe series as KC. Please not the video contains allot of swearing!
Ari Boyland’s first major acting gig was in The Tribe playing KC. Post The Tribe he landed a role in a Disney TV movie You Wish! He later worked in the Disney produced Power Rangers series playing the Blue Lion Ranger, Flynn McAllistair, in Power Rangers RPM. His recent works include a re-curring role in hit NZ series Go Girls and appearing in Shortland Street as the character Brodie Kemp during 2010-2011.
I am not sure what TV series/film the first clip of the showreel is from, please let me know if you know, it looks interesting!
Check out the showreel for actress Fleur Saville. Fleur portrayed the role of Ruby, who owned the saloon in Liberty, in The Tribe series 5.
Pre The Tribe, Fleur was in the hit New Zealand children’s series Being Eve, playing the title role of Eve Baxter. Post The Tribe she went on to become a household name in her role as Libby Jeffries in NZ medical drama Shortland Street and proved herself to be more than capable in playing comedic roles and serious situations.
You can also spot Jay Ryan (he had a guest role in the Tribe as a ‘Blue’ in series 4) towards the end of the end of the video.
Check out Tom Hern’s acting showreel below… Tom starred in The Tribe series 4 and 5 as head Techno Ram.
Before his role on The Tribe as Ram, Tom was a presenter on New Zealands kids show What Now TV (WNTV). Post filming the fourth series of The Tribe, Tom went on to play the lead role of Jess in Cloud 9′s series Revelations. Post The Tribe Tom Hern appeared in the core cast of Power Rangers Dino Thunder playing Devin Del Valle, the same series featured James Napier as the Red Power Ranger. Like other members of The Tribe cast Tom has had a stint on the medical soap Shortland Street where he played Baxter Cormack (2005-2007).
Jessie Gurunathan, who played Dawn in The Tribe 1 & 2, is known in NZ for her work in reality TV/reporter/presenter. Currently she is featured on a track by Bulletproof, entitled Dub Me Crazy, going under the moniker of Jessie G. Check out the video below:

Tangiwai, a TV movie made for TVNZ, was broadcast on Sunday 14th August 2011. The film featured Fleur Saville (The Tribe’s Ruby) as the character Eva Peacocke, a friend/confident to the lead female character Nerissa Love, played by Rose McIver.
Check out a video clip featuring Fleur Saville, Rose McIver and Ryan O’Kane (as Bob Blair) in the Tangiwai:
Fleur is definitely looking fab post Shortland Street, where she became a household name in her role as Libby Jeffries. The movie was a dramatisation of a true account of one persons life, which was affected by the Tangiwai traincrash in New Zealand in 1953.
We previously mentioned the production and Fleur’s appearance in it in February.
