Watt directed the AFI Best Picture film, <em>Look Both Ways<\/em>, during which I had the pleasure of spending time on set while they filmed key scenes at my apartment a few years ago. <em>Look Both Ways<\/em> is a stunning, low-key Aussie film, and anybody who has yet to see it, can I urge you to do so. Watt also directed <em>My Year Without Sex<\/em>, released in 2009, a film I have yet to see, although I can only assume it was of the same high caliber as <em>Look Both Ways<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I met Ms Watt on the set of <em>Look Both Ways<\/em>, and she struck me as quiet and thoughtful &#8211; it was during production on this film that she was diagnosed with cancer, a fact I would not discover until much later. Regardless, she held herself well in the rigors of on-set filming, and I always have fond memories of her at that time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ms Watt was married to fellow Aussie, actor William McInnes. She passed away on November 4, aged 53.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sad news over the weekend, as we learned of the passing of wonderful Aussie director&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48482,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-obituary"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","covernews-featured":"","covernews-medium":"","profile_24":"","profile_48":"","profile_96":"","profile_150":"","profile_300":"","sow-carousel-default":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rodney Twelftree","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/author\/rodney\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/category\/film-general\/obituary\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Obituary<\/a>","tag_info":"Obituary","comment_count":"1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48482"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18875\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
