Asked about the making of "Jojo Rabbit" being spread over six years, and his role in the film, Waititi said: "I wrote the script, and then I went off and made three films and then came back to it.

The movie got six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Supporting Actress. bout "Caging Skies", he says his mother "suggested I read this book". "She was reading it and she really enjoyed it. I read it enough that there were lots of moments in there that felt very cinematic and in themselves towards a film and made it," he said.
