If only I could look up and touch a tetromino-filled sky... Until then, I thankfully have Dream of Pixels.

Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.

I do think Australians as a rule have a very good sensibility to them, and I think most people, if they were given the option, wouldn't choose to rip off a filmmaker or an artist - I don't think its part of the Australian psyche.

I do prime time network shows like 'Blue Bloods.' I've done 'Fringe,' I've done 'The Good Wife,' done a lot of 'The Mentalist.'

I have a great team. A lot of my focus every day is with my television and film career, directing and producing, and I guess you can say that my moonlighting gig is Tropfest. Obviously, when I am not working I am in the Tropfest office full-time.

If only I could look up and touch a tetromino-filled sky... Until then, I thankfully have Dream of Pixels.

The Australian film industry has recognised Tropfest as a place to nurture young talent. It's a stepping stone between amateur and professional.
