Making Your First Feature Film Is Actually Impossible.

Australians Don't Have A Preconceived Notion Of What Things Have To Be... We Can Go On A Fantastic Journey.

I Just Wanted To Do This All Australian Film And We Didn't Want To Give Creative Control To Overseas 'cause Whoever Comes On My Sets, Whether You're Sweeping The Floor Or An Actor, It Doesn't Matter Who Comes Up With The Ideas, It's A Collaboration.

Now Both My Films Have Been Number One At The Australian Box Office And It Took About Two Years Just To Get The Finance For This Film, So If It's Hard For Me Then God Help Everyone Else.

The American Formula Things Are Out There But They Don't Have Any Stories To Tell - We Have All The Stories To Tell - But They're All Formula.
