I've been very busy working on the ABC Family sitcom, 'Baby Daddy.'
I'll be directing some more 'Private Practice' episodes when we wrap 'Caprica.'
I'm going to insult a whole industry here, but it seems like TV is for people who can't do film. I'm not talking about actresses; I'm talking about lighting people. Lighting on TV is just so... it's sinful, it really is.
Well, I'm directing a lot of television these days.
I always think a successful television series is the best job because it gives you community, it doesn't demand temporary insanity the way movies do, and you can be almost a normal person.
We did four months on 'Line of Duty' from beginning to end, and that would be a long theater run.
I was a production assistant in the post department on 'The Surreal Life.' And it's been reported before that I was an assistant editor on 'The Surreal Life.' That is not true.
TV people are great folks, but if I said, 'Come and film a beetroot-jar-opening competition,' they would.
TV directing is fine because you can come in and do a TV show in a relatively short period of time, and that can pay the bills.
I got a series with the WB next year. We start shooting in July. It's going to be called Safe Harbor, and it's an hour show. It's a Spelling show and will follow 7th Heaven.
I guarantee there's people who watch television who have no idea how complicated it is to make a television show.
Honestly, I love television. I love the idea of going to work every day and getting to know your crew and having a rapport with your directors and having a family of cast.
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
