A movie is a creative process from its conception, through its writing, to its execution, to the editing. I think with the best films there is some kind of contribution from one person all the way through that. The best films are made by people who write, direct, and edit, so there's continuity.
Having done Spaced, I can't even remember it being that difficult on Spaced, but we know what the end's going to be like.

It's the writing, the performances, and the style of camerawork, that's what we're working toward, and we're prepared for that.
