Aussie Director - Today we feature director Ben Lewin. Ben's latest project is Magnolia Pictures, Please Stand By. The movie stars Dakota Fanning as Wendy, an autistic screenwriter. Wendy's tale involves her writing a Star Trek screenplay and taking it to Hollywood. 
Ben and Pete also discuss how movies like The Sessions, a story about a boy in an iron lung attempting to lose his virginity, force Ben to be an activist in the disabled community.
