A lot of the distinctions that we make between drama and documentary are spurious. We're deeply confused about these issues. About the difference between the two, about where documentary ends and drama begins.
I've never seen myself as a documentary filmmaker. I see myself as a filmmaker, period, and I am interested in drama as well as in documentary.
In fact, part of the Netflix series is drama.Beyond re-enactments. Why not invent something new?
You can't tell by looking at a film-clip whether it is a drama or a documentary without knowing how it was produced.
There are many dramas that I would like to make: dramas based on real stories. It's approaching things from the other side.
