It's bizarre, because you'd kind of expect it to happen at the end but it happens right at the beginning, ... And throughout the film you kind of see my character constantly trying to get something off his chest, only his family and all the adults around him are oblivious to their kids and what their kids need. So there's this yearning for someone to listen to what his problem is.

But it's nice when big stars come over and say, 'Great job.'

The idea of it is that these kids are all pacifists but have this obsession with guns, so it's a bit contradictory in the subject matter.

It's very much an ensemble film — I can't stress that enough because all the actors I worked with are all tremendous, ... Many different things happen within the film, the characters kind of intertwine and by the end, they come to the same level and connect.
