I made it about a three-day weekend so people wouldn`t have to change their clothes a lot. We didn`t have an art department; we didn`t have a make-up department.
I figured, `When is that ever going to happen again?`. So I basically set out the opposite way movies are made; I set out with a budget first. I said, `What can I do well for $40,000?`.
I figured somebody wrote a story who had a typewriter and I thought that movies were made by the cowboys and that they just said, `Okay, you fall off the horse this time.`
I certainly grew up seeing more movies and television than I read books, but when it came time to do the thing itself you don`t have to hire a lot of people to sit down and write a book, so that was the story-telling medium that was available to me.
