Necessarily, I'm always involved in casting, as any playwright is, because the whole process of putting on a play is a collaborative, organic effort on the part of a bunch of people trying to think alike.

My feeling is we are doing something new here. We are building a collaborative effort that will make a great deal of copyrighted material available in a way that's acceptable to the creators. That is novel.

Any filmmaking, any film is a collaborative process. There's always a lot of people working on things together.

It was a very collaborative process - all peaceful,

The process of doing a play is an organic one, and the process of doing a film is totally inorganic.

Writing a play, you start with less, so more is demanded of you. It's as if you have to not only write a symphony, but invent the instruments as well.
