‘Memoir Of A Snail’ Director Adam Elliot Breaks Ranks With Animation Norms: “They’re Not For Kids” — Contenders Film: The Nominees
An interview with 'Memoir Of A Snail' director Adam Elliot about his animated film's Oscar chances and more for Deadline's Contenders FIlm: The Nominees event.

Elliot stayed close to home to give voice to Grace’s character, catching Sarah Snook between gigs, after Succession wrapped and before she takes on the lead role in The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway. “Sarah’s one of a group of wonderful female Australian actors — the likes of Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Margot Robbie — and they all live here in Australia and radiate out to the rest of the world,” Elliot said.
