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

In 1905 Albert discovered Relativity, in 1906 he invented Rock and Roll.

I don't know what it means to be out there against the Olympics.

I kind of worry about that a little bit - we lost our film culture for 30 years because the Americans came in and bought up all the cinema chains and wouldn't show any Australian films.

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.

Australians don't have a preconceived notion of what things have to be... we can go on a fantastic journey.

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