Ex-Big Brother pals to film doco in India

Ex Big Brother contestants Tim Dormer and Ben Zabel are to film an adventure through India in early 2016, following on from their success with Graceland Happiness Project.

The new project will also be produced by Princess Pictures.

Graceland Happinesss Project has recently been awarded at the NYCWebfest. It was originally released on YouTube before being screened by ABC during National ‘Mental Health Week’ in October.

“A genuine lasting friendship wasn’t something I ever planned would come out of my time on Big Brother, but being able to share our story and help others has been the most humbling of experiences. I’m still blown away at how far this story has gone, every week I get messages from people who have been touched by it. I’m so proud of Ben for trusting me to take him on this adventure,” said Dormer.

“Many people have seen me on reality TV shows like Big Brother and Celebrity Apprentice, but I think we all know that how people are portrayed isn’t always reality. This project is a truly authentic story, and thats why it worked! It will always be one of my proudest achievements. To win an international award for my first work as a producer is unbelievable! I was passionate about the story and fought to make it happen through much opposition. I’m now working with a supportive and creative team of geniuses at Princess Pictures to develop more projects like this!”
