Jimmy Jack, also credited as Jimmy the Exploder, is an Australian screenwriter, film director, actor and producer best known for achieving success following his work on the 2008 film ''The Black Balloon''. ==Biography== Jimmy Jack was born in Melbourne but raised in Perth, Western Australia. His work as an actor instilled in him a love of the film-making process. In 2001, he began working on ''The Black Balloon'' with Elissa Down, in her hometown of Sydney, and the film was under production for six years until its completion in 2007. The narrative is semi-autobiographical, mostly drawn from Down's childhood experiences, but she asked Jack to join her in writing the screenplay.〔 He claims the pair argued often during the writing process and "at one point Elissa threw her laptop at me and I walked out and went back to Perth," later returning upon realising that "the arguments meant richer story material. Neither of us would let the other person get away with bullshit."〔 In 2007 Jack wrote, produced, directed and acted in the experimental feature ''Five Guys Named Moe'' which was produced before ''The Black Balloon'' but has yet to be taken to market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Films & Awards: Five Guys Named Moe )〕 Jack won the Best Original Screenplay at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards for "The Black Balloon". He caused a minor sensation with his (acceptance speech ) after reading an extract of an article from ''The Age'' written by film critic Jim Schembri. After pocketing the article Jack declared "F * *k you Jim Schembri" an outburst which received a star-studded ovation, but was later censored from the Channel 9 broadcast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jimmy Jack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
