At This Age - I'm 44 -

There Is A Danger, If You Cast Someone Who Is 18, 19 Or 20 To Play 14 Or 15, That Very Subtly, Almost Unconsciously, The Audience Is, "oh, This Isn't So Bad."

I Would Say Acting On Stage Is My First Love.

Directing Takes A Lot Longer Than Acting. This Was About Seven Years In Development, And Then Two And A Half Years With Pre-production, Production, Post And Now The Release. Not That I Have People Banging On My Door To Star In Movies, But It Takes Me Out Of The Acting Game For A Longer Chunk Of Time.

And, Again, I'm The First One To Say That I'm Not Going Be Successful At Everything.

I Had Invited 50 Or 60 Peers And Friends, Most Of Whom Were Parents, To See The Film [trust], And I Asked About The Last Scene. It Was Interesting Because It Was Split Right Down The Middle, 50/50. About Half The Audience Wanted It To End With The Very Emotional Scene Between Clive And Liana, And That Feeling Of Realization And Catharsis. And, The Other Half Were Adamant About Keeping That Last Scene.
