“I have been watching Nick’s growth from film to film. From ‘After the Smoke,’ Nick’s journey through adolescent to man and the fear of the classic Australian male fable to ‘Vote Yes,’ Nick’s answer to the rise of nationalism through Australia’s forgotten past. Nick is quickly building a unique Australian voice in cinema - it’s strong and loud.”
“She [Washington] isn’t just a singer, she’s also an actress, and a good one at that. Adopting a different persona to deliver each number, Washington demonstrated a vulnerable yet still commanding character while the emotion took hold of her.”
“McGowan is one of a rare species, a female Australian choreographer. As one of the precious few I hope she continues to be nurtured and commissioned in Australia and elsewhere.”
