Bruce Beresford Quotes
«So I said to the production company, 'what are we going to Canada for if we're not going to use local actors?' And they said to me - and this was something that I was unaware of - 'the accent is different.' And I said, being from Australia, 'what a load of nonsense.' But after I had been here for a few weeks I realized that this was indeed true, the accent is different.»

«I think casting is important because if you get the right actors cast then you appear to be a much better director than you are because then it goes very smoothly. But if you make a mistake in the casting and you want a performance that is somewhat different to what they want to do, it's going to be very difficult.»

«Well, I storyboard the films from every shot and from every angle. I specify to the cameraman where the camera should be and what lens he should use and then I work out all the moves for the actors. Of course this can change, but I would have to say that 95% of the time the film is done exactly the way I have storyboarded it.»
