Founded in the boardroom of the Foreign Affairs office for English Speaking Countries of Jilin Provincial Government in China, TeamBridge Business Social Club was conceived as an expat's commerce and culture exchange forum centred in the theatrical and media arts.

The reasoning, simple: all effective advertising, promotion and cultural exchange relies to a large extent on the arts.

Back home in New Zealand since 2013, the founder of TeamBridge BSC maintains high value media arts business relationships within China, centred through the original Changchun Film Studio, now part of Changchun Film Group Corporation, a foundation member of China Film Group, and through Beijing production leadership with Hengdian World Studios.

Originally conceived prior to the launch of Polyticks Poke in around 1997, House Rules Game Show is everything you need in a role playing game.

Political Satire, and, more importantly, grass roots expression of independent opinion, should by all expectations be a meaningful global export.

Robustly healthy in the US, rejoiced in the UK, embraced in Australia, loved in Canada, celebrated throughout most of the known world, only a few nations disdain it, and only NZ banned all political satire on television in the early 1990's because someone successfully claimed Parliamentary Privilege and sued Spitting Image (NZ) off the airwaves.

You can find recent video of House Rules Game Show here and some audio excerpts are presented here along with photographs of active games here.

Polticks Poke Paintball Tag was shopped to TV news in 1998. Some Members of Parliament had agreed to turn up at a paint ball venue for the cameras. The Rt Hon Helen Clark MP had graciously declined, however.

The game was cancelled the day prior by the producer, mostly for fear that the Members of Parliament would not honour their promises to attend, thus preserving the potential for future communication with TV news crews was the thought at the time.

Recorded live at a lovely venue in Freeman's Bay, Polyticks Poke Live at Kitty O'Brien's was broadcast on Auckland's new independent regional broadcaster, Triangle Television.

You can see some of the show here.

The awesome radio advert played on Radio Pacific, created by Mark Austin, was well received, but a promotion like this is illegal now, it is verboten to sample Parliamentary TV to make up your own public mash-mix. You can listen to the original radio advert free of fear of the suits here.

Recorded in studio at the Otara Music and Arts Centre in 1996 and packaged into self copied cassettes posted out around about including into the private bag of the Rt Hon Simon Upton MP, who received, listened, and wrote back in reply, graciously, intelligently.

Some excerpts from No Frills* (no shit) are presented here.
