These movies seem to buck the trend because of their high quality, the addition of a narrative, and the fact that I already know some of the ‘characters’ from television. Goes to show there are no hard and fast rules about this sort of thing.
I wonder what the addition of a camera into the rehearsal hall does to the rehearsal process? When I was running the Africa Trilogy Blog, people were pretty down with it as long as I didn’t take pictures or video during rehearsal. I assume this was to encourage actors to take risks and be vulnerable and not worry that the messyness of their process would be all over the internet…
