Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
With 'Twilight ' you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With 'Penoza ' we had an eight episode Dutch series that just for the pilot alone I condensed three episodes. So there's a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes.
People are not perfect... very often the relationships that are strongest are those where people have worked through big crises but they've had to work through them. So the challenge to us is to work through that.
