At yesterday’s Comic Con 2012 True Blood Panel, another topic that came up was Stephen’s role as director of Season 5, Episode 8. I enjoyed filming this portion of the panel to hear Stephen talk about his desire to direct, and how he begged Alan Ball to allow him to do so. Finally, after several requests and shadowing one of the True Blood directors, Alan Ball granted his request.
Stephen talks all about the experience in the video below that I shot during the panel. He particularly talks about how he enjoyed working with Sam. He said that Sam is an amazing actor and had one of the toughest jobs on his episode that any actor could have.
Personally, I can’t wait to see that one.

Thank you Lynn for this gem of a video from TB’s Comic-con panel; how exciting to hear Stephen’s road to directing his first episode and hopefully there will be more. Also how exciting for you to have been there.

What a delightful bit! Thanks, Lynn, for sharing it with us. So glad Alan finally said “yes,” and Stephen got to live his directing dream. Sounds like he is aces at it. I hope there will be more directorial opportunities in his future.
