Quotes

Julian Shaw (director): «I went to the same performing arts high school as young Rhys Wakefield, though we were a few years apart. I saw the plays he was in, and always thought he was an extremely promising actor. That he’s realised so much of this promise at such a young age is extraordinary. We caught up at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008 when he was there with The Black Balloon and I was there with Darling! I think we both decided it would be pretty fun to work together as soon as possible.»

Julian Shaw (director): «Rhys is the heart and soul of the film. Obviously James Cameron has seen something in Rhys because he has hand-picked him for the new 3D movie Sanctum. I’d like to think that I beat Mr Cameron to it because I spotted Rhys’ talent when he was about 11-years-old at the McDonald College.»
