In an American accent, it sounds scary, but an Australian, oh, what's that over there, mate?

Yeah, that's amazing. And in Australia, and some of the stuff that we'd worked on, just as crew members, they're like, you have to... Australians are not going to stand that. Really, really pronunciate it. So if you're like, oh, what's that over there? They're like, oh, no, that's mumbly. Oh, what's that over there? And it becomes awkward Australian or too Australian where it feels really false.

And then Australians have this cultural cringe about it where they're like, oh, that feels weird. And then Americans are like, that sounds weird. And there was something about it, especially when we went into making Talk To Me. The producers are the people that we originally gave the script to were like, can we film it somewhere else? What about with American accents?

That could be more accessible. What about in America? You do it in America. That's very interesting.

I love it as well. And I love that there's certain words or phrases that are from Australia that audience members would be like, what's that mean?

And I think it's something that's... Because we had one chance, it was like, Talk To Me was it. It was our only movie we were probably going to make because it probably wouldn't work or whatever. So to us, it felt right to do it authentically. And Australian is authentic. That's where we knew, that's the people we know and how we grew up. So it felt right doing that.

So the fact that it resonated, you know, kind of internationally, and I think it does because it doesn't matter who the people are, where they're from. It's a human to human story.
