What�s the difference in acting in the films?

Picture The acting isn�t any different. You�re shooting two or three pages a day instead of 10 or 11 pages a day. When you write � when you�re shooting for television you have six days to shoot a 52 page script, that�s generally I think what we had. A feature screen play is about 110, 120 pages and you generally have ten weeks to do that. So we were shooting two or three pages a day.

There was a great more attention paid to detail in shooting a feature film and because you have a wide screen, lighting had to be more accurately done, sound had to be perfect, the sets were more involved, everything reflected the fact that we were shooting a feature film that was going... You know that the screen was so many feet high, that there was much more money available to make the film.
