There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them.
Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?
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.
We cheer everyone who goes off to Hollywood and tells American stories but telling Australian stories is the greatest thing you can do.
We've got so many stories to tell, you know, we could take on the world.
