Danny McBride: The Internet Is Selling Lost People Fake Answers
What was said
"We learned that honestly when we were shooting eastbound and we were shooting in Wilmington, North Carolina and the idea that there was not a direct flight at that time from LA to North Carolina, we noticed that the executives never came to set. We're like, 'Oh, we just got to choose cities that it's not easy to get to from LA and then we'll have more freedom.'"
McBride reveals a strategic insight from early in his career: shooting in remote locations without direct flights from Los Angeles kept studio executives away from set, giving creators more creative control. This geographical buffer became an intentional strategy for maintaining artistic independence from network interference.
