But it’s not, it’s integral to the experience.” “I remember the first call I had with Sam, and he left it to the very last bit. ‘Oh, it’s all one continuous shot.’ And I thought I played it cool, but I didn’t, I screamed,” she said, laughing, before admitting that the idea presented unique problems in terms of writing, not least of which attempting to construct a satisfying narrative that takes place in real time across two hours.
