00:00So tell us about your film. So it's a personal story about my parents.
00:06It starts in Adelaide in 1977. They build a home together and they coach each other through life
00:13to make it a good family. But he's considered too political, too controversial, and so he says he
00:21needs to leave. He needs to find opportunities in a more progressive part of the world.
00:27You weren't hurt or angry at your father leaving?
00:36Have you talked to him about your film yet? You're worried that he's not going to give
00:40you his blessing? Maybe. Hello! Come here, come here home. Everyone, this is Francis.
00:53I was thinking Francis needed to get out of Adelaide before it suffocates them.
00:57You can live with me. Is that what you want?
01:01At some point, he is going to hurt Francis. There's no such thing as bisexuality.
01:08Maybe tone it down a bit. Tone what down?
01:12Just because he's got all these very admirable ideals doesn't mean he necessarily puts them into practice.
01:17You're a child for such a short amount of time. That time as a young family is limited and it's gone and you can't get it back.
01:30It's about a daughter learning to not need her father so much and her being grateful for that.
01:42I understand the need to find yourself, find your family.
01:54I simply said, Francis, this is your grandpa Jim. But he thought grandpa sounded too old.
02:02So he gave himself a new name. Jimpa.
