In theatre you learn to do everything pretty much by yourself, with a very few dedicated people who don’t get paid very much money, so it’s a good place to start from.
KYM: I’d done lots and lots of theatre, maybe eight years of theatre. MATRIX: Which other non-film projects had you worked on before Romeo + Juliet? I got to talk to people at NASA, people in the B2 Stealth Bomber, and to people about technology that could allow the actors to do what I wanted them to be able to do, in the sense of freedom of movement, and to have it technically believable. We filmed some of it in Jordan in forty-eight degree heat, and then we filmed the rest of it in Coober Pedy, in a different kind of desert. We had to make spacesuits that really worked, that had air, that had air conditioning, that had lights, that had fan-cooling systems.

After that, I moved to America, and worked on commercials.įrom there I did a little movie in Portland, then I did the first MATRIX, and then I went back to the US and did Red Planet, which I learnt, technically, an enormous amount from. We’d all worked on Strictly Ballroom, but this was a big deal movie with a risk, because everyone thought no one would understand it.
My first film was Romeo + Juliet in Mexico City, which was a huge undertaking because I’d never done a film before, and we were in a foreign country and couldn’t speak the language. MATRIX: What other films have you worked on besides THE MATRIX?
KYM: I work with Larry and Andy to give the characters a real life, a real person to inhabit, and to make the actors feel comfortable being the person they’re going to portray. MATRIX: Describe your main role on THE MATRIX sequels?
