It's getting to make a much bigger canvas than I ever have in my life, and it allowed us to not throw any of it out. ![]() We had the chance to go to Showtime and say, ″Hey, we're in love with this, we want to make the whole book." And we mapped out this plan and they believed in it. Because when I was a kid, the miniseries was always kind of the cheap version of a movie - they didn't have the budget, it wasn't as well photographed.

My whole life making movies and acting, you either made a movie or you were on a TV show or theater. For me, the limited series is such a new form, and I was so grateful that we were able to push the shooting and getting to cut the show as kind of one work of art. ![]()
