Damien O'Donnell

Sorry, 2003.

Damien O'Donnell, of course, a director as well, went on to make such great films like East is East and Heartlands and Inside I'm Dancing.

And Paul Fitzgerald, who was the sort of editor.

And the thing is, we just hooked up at school and then didn't want to break up when we left school because we were all terrified.

[laughs]

And the same Irish guy, Damian O'Donnell his name is, uh, he made a beautiful film back then called East Is East.

He loaned me $1,000 for the plane ticket, because I had a ticket back from London.

I'm seeing a trend here.

Maybe that's my memory.

[laughs]

And I flew to LA to meet Sydney, and he's an incredible guy, and he'd made literally all of my favorite movies.

Mm-hmm.
