I had a meeting with [producer] Drew [Comins] and his company, and he saw my passion for the show and saw that I was no joke into it.

After all of that, I think we all felt aligned and on the same page.At that point, they had asked me to come and do Episode 4, and then sort of in the midst of four, they hadn’t quite settled the rest of their season yet.

So, as I finished four, they asked if I would also do seven. So then I kind of turned right back around and came and did seven.How was it directing the two different timelines?The two worlds are so aesthetically different.
