You do a drama, and you are limited by the rules of reality, and in science fiction, you create your own reality. Some people find that daunting; I find it challenging.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Unlike fiction, which you create before you go into production, with reality you kind of create it after everything is produced. The drama and the storytelling is really done in post.
Whenever you deal with science fiction you are setting up a world of rules. I think you work hard to establish the rules. And you also have to work even harder to maintain those rules, and within that find excitement and unpredictability and all that stuff.
I create fictional narratives, but it's based on literal people.
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
Reality shows serve up juicy drama out of human shortcomings.
The thing with drama is you're allowed to invent people who are maybe slightly better than real people.
The beauty of science fiction is that it takes the audience's guard down; they're much more willing to open themselves up and allow themselves to be questioned and have their values questioned when they don't think we're talking about their world or them and what they're used to.
Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.
Real life is messy, and drama is a shaped version of real life.
Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.
