Once in Australia, Sandi and James established 42K Media and have been making videos and managing content since 2016. Coronavirus has opened up the world to the possibilities of livestream and following contracts with C31 and Blendline Media, working on Livestreamed events and even streaming their local Anzac Day service in early 2020, James is excited about bringing his intentional scope and professional experience to local events, to continue to allow his local community to build friendships and converse, as a community, even from the safety and comfort of their own home.
