In My View, The Operas Of Carlisle

In Australia, They Set Up A Special Fund To Kick Films Off. It Was Quite An Enlightened Sort Of Move. You Could Go To This Government Bureau With Scripts And And Get Finance For Films.

I'd Really Been Interested In Opera When I Was About 16, And I Really Like Staging Them.

In Silent Movies, They Tended To Put The Camera Down, And Everybody Walked In Front Of It And Acted, And Then They All Walked Off. Cutting Was Quite Infrequent.

When I Was 24 I Went To Nigeria And It Was Such A Culture Shock, Growing Up In Australia And Suddenly Being The Only White Man In This Unit Full Of Black Men.

Perhaps The Most Difficult Thing Is Shooting Scenes Set 6,000 Feet Up In The Mountains Of Mexico.
