What people are saying
There's a lot of time that we spend in pre-production in terms of training the actors, interacting with them, meeting all the other actors, whereas in South it's more spontaneous.
I kind of like both
Sometimes I've met other actors or other important co-actors on set, probably that day of the shoot.
