We cheer everyone who goes off to Hollywood and tells American stories but telling Australian stories is the greatest thing you can do.

Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?

Getting your screenplay right is the most important thing you'll ever do on your film.

While the eyes of the world will be on us let's show everyone that we have a great sense of humour.

Find your own specific voice in filmmaking and go for it. Either people will get it or they won't and that's what it's all about.

There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them.

I support all Australian films.
