Is it less expensive to make this in Canada from a production perspective? >> Yes, it is because we don't have the
00:00:06
same level of money that is being thrown around. So, we by necessity have to spend less. But we also like did
00:00:14
something here where we shot all six episodes in 36 days. Jacob directed all six of them. We block shot them like one
00:00:21
giant movie. Studios, especially US studios, come and say, "How do you guys
00:00:25
do this?" And we go, "It's crazy. you have all of your episodes written before
00:00:29
you go into prep. And that's typically when we lose people and they don't
00:00:33
understand. >> It's crazy to do it the other way. It's especially when you're not doing 22
00:00:37
episodes anymore. Like back in the old model when you're doing this volume of
00:00:40
episodes where it's not possible to have them all written. You have to just be
00:00:43
writing all the time. But if you're doing if the new model is 8 to 10 episodes, there's almost no reason why
00:00:48
this can't be accomplished before you start shooting. >> Yeah. We start shooting and then we do
00:00:52
10-hour shoot days primarily. Like I'm not going to say it's not every day, but
00:00:56
we try to keep our hours low. As soon as you get into 12, 13 hours with crews, you end up paying for an additional day
00:01:03
by virtue of the overtime. The departments that get hooped are hair, makeup, wardrobe with these pre-alls a
00:01:10
lot of the time. Who are those departments run by? Primarily women. And so we also just feel that like there in
00:01:17
our business we need to change this mentality of endlessly shooting 15 16our days which is where the costs balloon.

>> Right. Right. What are you a lesbian? What's happening here?
