had to balance a number of world-changing events, from characters leaving the formerly sleepy suburban town of Shaker Heights, Ohio, to the culmination of a custody battle in court. And, of course, she finally had to pay off the reveal of who set the titular fires that burned down the Richardson family home.
“With a big action piece hundreds of things are happening at once so you have to watch playback a lot to make sure you see everything and got everything you want,” says, who is nominated in the limited series/TV movie/dramatic special directing category this year for the series premiere of “Watchmen,” which included everything from a re-creation of the 1921 Tulsa massacre to a shootout in a cow field.

Williams did not want to mimic the shot design of the previous scene, but instead get inside the “logic” of the moment.
