Star Time #65: Evidence
The narrative intros and breaks for this episode were produced in the back seat of my 2006 Toyota Camry. This strategy was not a gimmick. For reasons I don't have the patience to go into (but involved computer repair and privacy concerns) it was a logistical necessity. Artistically it worked out. There are equal parts urgency from being in a cramped space and annoyance that it got to this point. It's pretty good. But I'm not complacent. I know I won't really make my mark until I do an entire show from the cargo hold of a 787 Dreamliner. Don't rush me.
