00:00Selective as a director, it's just harder to mount a film as a director and it's much
00:15easier to be a writer because you only need yourself and your computer to be a writer
00:21but to be a director you need money, you need cast, you need crew, you need locations, you
00:25need a hundred things, that's the only reason but I started directing when I was 50, as
00:31a 50 year old gift to myself and I must say I've fallen in love so I'm not writing scripts
00:39anymore for other people, I will just write what I want to direct and they're very, it's
00:45not limitless, I'm of a certain age so I'm very selective now about what I want to do
00:51going forward.
00:59I think in an ideal world every writer should direct one film, every director should sit
01:04in a chair, park themselves and write a script.
01:15I never cater to what the market demands, fortunately or unfortunately but it does as
01:23a writer who is now, I had two co-writers especially Yana who wrote three of the episodes
01:32but as a writer who's directing, I feel I have more confidence in allowing actors to
01:41improvise because I know what the story is, where it's going etc.
01:46If I was directing someone else's script completely, I would be more respectful of the script maybe
01:54and encourage less improvisation but I don't think that's the situation I'm ever going
02:00to be in.
02:07I was very lucky that the way we imagined it and the way we wrote it is the way it was
02:13filmed.
02:15We didn't really have excess at all in the editing stage, I had fabulous editors and
02:21one reason that dance can be so attractive on screen is the quality of the editing also
02:30so I have to thank them for that.
02:34We hardly had two or three maybe four scenes in nine episodes that we got, whatever we
02:41shot you see on screen.
02:45I'll plus one on that, it's a medium for creative collaboration.
02:56I think also the audience, there's so much accessibility to a vast range of content which
03:02might never hit your city in the theater.
03:10It is mostly wonderful I think because I believe in the democratization of photography for
03:19me with phones and this medium also.
03:23I love that everyone can be a critic and the audience has a voice and a say which before
03:31was limited to only people who were critics, who wrote for newspapers, now everyone's a
03:39critic which is a good thing and a bad thing.
03:46The final piece of the puzzle in any work we make is the audience so like Suni said
03:52it's good and bad but I'm open to it all, we've made a show with a lot of heart and
03:58I know that the audience is going to love Whack Girls.
04:01I just know it.
04:02Absolutely and Nikola any closing remarks?
04:04I agree completely with both of them.
04:08This is made for the audience to have a blast like we did while making it.
