JASON BATEMAN on directing OZARK #shorts

going into Ozark which to me was I was excited about the the challenge of directing a like a 600 page movie you know I I wanted to give it a try and for better or worse I couldn't work out enough time to to prep all the episodes and ended up just directing uh four of the ten the first two and the last two but that's just something I'm really really proud of because there's just so many people that I managed to find talk into coming to work on that show cast and crew and and Netflix giving us such a such a nice generous push and support with it all and and letting us create kind of this tone and and atmosphere and moodiness and dangerousness and chilling elements that uh you know are all there in the script and then trying to figure out what that looks like and what it sounds like was was my job as as director and EP where you make all these choices to kind of build this environment and it's been it's been really really rewarding I feel very very fortunate
