I had directed a bunch of comedy shorts through the years and I was on set everyday for Binge 1 shadowing the director Jeremy Garelick. So when it came time to do the second one he really went to bat for me and told Hulu I could handle it. They were super supportive and let me go as crazy as I wanted. And if you watch the movie you’ll see it’s pretty wacky! I think directing definitely helps maintain the MOST control, but there are still notes from the studio and the actors and producers but ultimately you do have the final say in most decision making. As long as you aren’t some kind of ego maniac jerk! And with a movie like this I think funniest idea wins out. I was willing to hear any and all pitches.
