00:00:00
Is it less expensive to make this in
00:00:02
Canada from a production perspective?
00:00:04
>> Yes, it is because we don't have the
00:00:06
same level of money that is being thrown
00:00:08
around. So, we by necessity have to
00:00:11
spend less. But we also like did
00:00:14
something here where we shot all six
00:00:16
episodes in 36 days. Jacob directed all
00:00:19
six of them. We block shot them like one
00:00:21
giant movie. Studios, especially US
00:00:23
studios, come and say, "How do you guys
00:00:25
do this?" And we go, "It's crazy. you
00:00:27
have all of your episodes written before
00:00:29
you go into prep. And that's typically
00:00:31
when we lose people and they don't
00:00:33
understand.
00:00:34
>> It's crazy to do it the other way. It's
00:00:35
especially when you're not doing 22
00:00:37
episodes anymore. Like back in the old
00:00:38
model when you're doing this volume of
00:00:40
episodes where it's not possible to have
00:00:41
them all written. You have to just be
00:00:43
writing all the time. But if you're
00:00:44
doing if the new model is 8 to 10
00:00:46
episodes, there's almost no reason why
00:00:48
this can't be accomplished before you
00:00:49
start shooting.
00:00:50
>> Yeah. We start shooting and then we do
00:00:52
10-hour shoot days primarily. Like I'm
00:00:54
not going to say it's not every day, but
00:00:56
we try to keep our hours low. As soon as
00:00:58
you get into 12, 13 hours with crews,
00:01:00
you end up paying for an additional day
00:01:03
by virtue of the overtime. The
00:01:05
departments that get hooped are hair,
00:01:07
makeup, wardrobe with these pre-alls a
00:01:10
lot of the time. Who are those
00:01:11
departments run by? Primarily women. And
00:01:14
so we also just feel that like there in
00:01:17
our business we need to change this
00:01:19
mentality of endlessly shooting 15 16our
00:01:22
days which is where the costs balloon.
00:01:24
>> Right. Right. What are you a lesbian?
00:01:26
What's happening here?
