Welcome to Younghollywood. com. I am here with Kobe Alberton.

Young Hollywood

Now, last time we saw you was out there in the ocean, and now we're here at the afterparty and you took our Jill out there.

Young Hollywood

There's Jill.

Young Hollywood

Come on in.

Young Hollywood

Now, I'm telling you right now, Jill done a great job.

Young Hollywood

She stood up on her first time, that's pretty amazing.

You promised that we would go surfing again, so I want it on camera, I want on tape, on film, for the record.

You were called "Man Candy" in a recent OK magazine.

Young Hollywood

What's one of those movies that everybody can relate to and you think that's the great thing about it?

Kobe Alberton

It's about kids feeling great about themselves no matter what situation they're stuck in and if you're in a bad situation, you come through it.

Kobe Alberton

Now, there could be any Hollywood star on the red carpet or doing whatever they got to do, but if I can save two kids.

Kobe Alberton

That's all I want.

Young Hollywood

I am here with Sunny Alberton, the director of the film.

Sunny Alberton

We won, you know, the best documentary in Australia, but we weren't sure how the American audiences were going to take it.

Sunny Alberton

Unbelievable with the turn out.

Young Hollywood

Well, I think there's a whole lot of issues, you know, on family and brotherhood, a whole lot of social issues that I think American audiences can relate to.

Young Hollywood

I loved it.

Young Hollywood

I really loved that the whole message of the movie was that they're one big unit that's always going to be there for each other, like one big family.

Young Hollywood

I think that's really important.

Young Hollywood

I think it's a great film and I think it's something that a lot of young people can relate to, no matter what Australia, states or whatever, but kids growing up in the hood and the ghetto can understand that story.

Young Hollywood

It's great.

Young Hollywood

It and it was a story that I didn't know anything about, and I'm so glad that I learned about this culture.

Sunny Alberton

Thanks, Young Hollywood, for supporting the film.
