I like to be involved with the scriptwriter early on, helping shape the story, and working out how the story can be told directorially.

The way I work is I like to immerse myself in the world of the film and in the character's lives, and then from that, I get a lot of ideas of how the film could be made, how it could be told.

Helping out in your kid's classroom is a great way to get involved with your child's school.

That's what me being here was about, to get in game shape. This is really helping me out for my conditioning. Everything down here's been great for me.

Most of the available Indian films in Australia are Bollywood. I did not watch them. In my early days, I watched Satyajit Ray's 'Apu Trilogy,' which was a beautiful take on social realism.

I definitely storyboard, but I only start once I have cast and location. I like to find the world first.
