For writer and comedian Peter Helliar, seeing I Love You Too come to life on the big screen has been a dream come true; an experience so magical that he compares it to falling in love. "It's the most exciting thing for me," Helliar says.

"I got into stand-up so hopefully I could get a gig writing for television and through writing for television hopefully make some contacts so hopefully I could maybe write a movie. "Now I've made a movie and the best way that I can describe is that it's like I've fallen in love. I've found what I really wanted to do in my life. It's incredible!"

Well known in Australia for his high-profile roles on radio and television, including the longrunning national talk show Rove, Helliar developed the idea for the film seven years before the first frames were shot.

"I was going to the movies one day and I got half way to the cinema and thought ‘Jeez I don't think I've locked my car'," he says. "I was walking briskly back to my car and thinking what would be the worst thing I could lose if my car was broken into. I think the worst thing you could lose was something personal and the most personal thing I could think of was a love letter. That was the seed of it and it grew from there."
