00:00How are you doing? Congratulations on the film and welcome to AFI Fest.
00:03How does it feel to screen for the AFI Fest audience tonight?
00:06It's an honour to be invited. When you see the group of people,
00:10the group of artists who are invited here, you feel lucky.
00:14What was it about this story in particular that you wanted to tell at this moment in your career?
00:18Well, I've focused a lot on the mother and son relationship,
00:21and now the fact that we could crack that open to a wider range of,
00:27well, let's say a whole family, it felt like a narrative progression.
00:32I was happy to talk about brothers and sisters, which I had never done before.
00:36It's a film about love and miscommunication.
00:41It's hard for people from the same family to get along and express love to one another,
00:49so there's a reflection there that can apply to many situations.
00:54It's always nice to have a different take on a movie with a new audience.
01:00There's a real process of identification with each of the characters in the movie.
01:07Anyone can identify to this story.
