Okay. The mood. So talking to those who don't know. Talk about his explosion. Yeah, none. The explosion, yeah. This is the thing. You know, you guys will know, the most important thing, I think, on a film set is the atmosphere, right? It's a massive team, all these different groups and skill sets doing all these different things, but they all want to be appreciated. They all want their...
their time, and they all need their time. And Jason's just a master at keeping that going. I mean, the spirit of this company, I've got to tell you, cast, crew, everyone, was so positive. I mean, that was demonstrated at the end. We had a wonderful wrap party. Everybody's there with their family. Everyone stays from early doors to the close. I mean, it was so popular. Which is unusual.
Yeah, it is unusual. And that was led by him. And the style of the piece was set up by Jason because it was his, how he saw it, and he, like I said, led us out of the gates. He directed the first two. And so setting that up and getting that right and sort of... What's the word? Engraining it in the DNA of the piece. And then as an actor, right?
And then he's also there as an actor playing opposite you, leading by example, but also... There are those moments where suddenly it's just those little tiny words of suggestion or little tiny nudges like, this is great, this is good, but why don't we go down this path? Should we try this? And it's those moments where you feel like, oh, this is so much fun. You're kind of playing.
And even if you're doing a really dramatic scene, you're kind of giggling to yourself thinking like, oh, we're doing this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're allowed to.
Be brutally honest. I like the idea. I'm going to join Sean in that bubble. I like the idea of being pushed around. Just zip him in. Yeah.
Fortunately not, and I lived a pretty simple life early on. And then I became a father pretty young, and that would be all-consuming. So that I was always, I mean, there was always something to do.
Well, luckily, it was never so much that I suddenly thought... And if it was, then I was usually saved by the life support of another job or a potential job. Yeah, for sure, for sure.
But I realized in the last couple of years, it's been a really big shift for me with my company because suddenly, even if they're not coming to fruition, although we've had a pretty good run in the last couple of years, just having the sense that you've got your hands on the reins and you can develop stuff and you're communicating with writers and directors.
This is riffraff with the great Ben Jackson. Great Ben Jackson, who's been, alongside me for like 22 years. And the company has given me a much better sense of navigating those moments of thinking. Because ultimately, you're still an actor waiting for someone to think you're right for a part.
Yeah, I love it. I like the process of... I love finding ideas. I love introducing writers to directors and seeing that kind of blossom and bloom. It's a side I love it.
No, not at all. You were just a fan of... Massive fan. And you know when you suddenly, someone, and it's never me, I'm really good at chiming in and having an opinion, but I'm never someone, I'm never very good with a blank page. You know when people go, okay, let's discuss the directors. I always go, uh... Yeah.
And, you know, you can't be, I want to be the smart one who goes, I've got a left of field idea. I'm always like, you go first. And then I'm really strong to go, no, no, no, not them, not them, not them. But someone mentioned Justin, I think it was Zach, or it could have been Brian. Zach Balin. Zach Balin, our wonderful writer, who we worked together on Black Rabbit.
And it just was one of those moments Oh, yes. This is a perfect fit. This guy looks at really dark areas and kind of toxic people, but puts them in a world where you... It's not about empathizing with them, but you understand them. And he makes it kind of safe for you to go into their worlds. And then he also operates on this high energy.
He's a big guy and he loves capturing the energy of scenes and drama. And he was just the perfect fit. So, yeah, we had, it was, we Zoomed with him. He was in his house in Tasmania with his big beard. And it looked literally like, and his hair all blown. It looked like he'd just come off a, you know, hauled in a whale and kind of come in.
He'd come in and sat there like this and just blew us away with his insight. Yeah, I think I can do this.
Exactly. I saw that. There was a lot of relief. We just heaved that up. I know, I know, I know.
I mean, it's absolutely standalone. Oh, it is. I like that. Yeah. I mean, it fits in. I think it's around the same time as The Mandalorian. But here's what got me. You know, I was six, seven when the first film came out. And I was thinking about this the other day. I mean, I don't remember going... I maybe saw... The Rescuers or 101 Dalmatians. Yeah, totally. And then Star Wars.
And, you know, so it was formative. And John Watts just had this awesome idea. He called me and said, so look, you know, what if we, all that awe and wonder and dazzle that we had as kids, what if we put the kids in that world?
