: Anyway, since you've probably hit every part of the production process, I was just curious as to what you enjoy dealing with the most.

I agree with pretty much all of what Vincent said. The actual production of Pizza Runners was hectic, crazy and too much work to an all-out blast. Which isn't to say that we didn't have fun, it's just that when you're responsible to produce and direct, THE burden is on you. Personally, the best part of the process for me was seeing the dailies. It's that genuine first-look into seeing your efforts on celluloid that really hits home. Post-production as a whole is pretty cool too, albeit a ton of work. Sometimes, especially with the AVID, you find that you have TOO MANY options.
I'd have to imagine that working with a larger crew, a bigger budget and only having to worry about directing...THAT would be fun. I'll have to
get back to you on that one though.
Always,
