Parental Guidance

It’s a story about everybody, about people learning how to deal with situations in a different country — all carried out with a touch of humour.

It will be interesting to see if people call it a Kiwi film, as opposed to an Indian film. I hope they call it their own, even if it was done by a Chilean director. The question of identity is a big one — when can you start calling yourself a Kiwi, when is long enough?

The one thing I got from being in India and talking to these kids was that they were craving something else. They've had Bollywood for years, and a lot of them are over it. It definitely inspired me to keep this real.
