“You're looking, moment by moment and scene by scene, how you can tell the most interesting story. So, we had this great short and we knew that we had a story about a boy and his dog. Because we had that pure emotional core, we could go on crazy tangents and always come back to Victor and Sparky. When I wrote in stuff like Weird Girl and the cat poop, Dutch Day and the windmill, it felt like it was part of Tim's universe.” MomentsStoriesGirlUniverseFeltStuffInterestingBoysCrazyDogEmotionalGoes OnScenePureCatCoreMost InterestingDutchPoopWindmillsInteresting StoriesGreat Short Author:John August
“I've always written towards movies that take place across two worlds. Most of the movies that I've worked on take place in two worlds, or sometimes three worlds, where you have a normal world and a fantasy world that mix and overlap. I never shy away from the series stuff in the real world. Big Fish is about mortality.” WorldTwoRealSometimesBigsThreeStuffFantasyWrittenNormalSeriesFishesShyMortalityReal WorldTwo WorldsFantasy WorldsBig Fish Author:John August
“Josh [Friedman] and I have been friends for years, and he said, "Hey, if you ever want to do a TV show, I can take it over and run it," and I was like, "Yes!" He's always been so busy that I never dared to ask that, but it just worked out, time wise, that this was the season where we could probably do it, so I jumped at it. So, even though I'm busy with other stuff, I'm excited to be writing this.” IfsWantWritingYearsHas BeensSaidI CanShowsRunningAsksStuffWiseTvsSeasonsBusyExcitedHeyTv ShowsJosh Author:John August
