PrisonBreak the video game

After the success of the FOX TV series, I was appointed to co-direct along with Simon Amarasingham the recordings of the dialogues for the PrisonBreak video game in LA. Meeting Hollywood stars was not something special. Working with them was the thing. Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, Peter Stormare, Robert Knepper, Amaury Nolasco, Wade Williams, Rockmond Dunbar. I did fine, directed their acting with true Balkan confidence and swag. What made me joy were moments when they asked me to do another take with an approach full of improvising. They took me somewhere I would have never gone with my skills only. And the result was a blast. I learned what great collaboration looks like and what Hollywood professionals can deliver. They are worth their money. I was earning a lot for Slovenian circumstances in those days but in an hour of studio time the actors earned the equivalent of my 4 years’ salary. Which is something that still doesn’t go through though.

What is my price man? Is this upbringing issue or is it a self-value perspective? Is this perhaps just one of the many creative, crazy, capitalist ways this world of ours operates?
