Interview: Tim Minear, Co-Creator of THE INSIDE
Tim: I don’t think it’s any more realistic than the two you mentioned, or even Wonderfalls. Actually, what I mean to say is that I don’t think Firefly, Angel or Wonderfalls were unrealistic. The Inside doesn’t have as large a fantasy or sf element, but it’s me taking what I do in genre and applying it to another genre. I’m a stylist, mostly.
Kevin: Another year, another show. The Inside is receiving a fair amount of promotion. Do you feel happy with the promotional work being done, and are you more confident this show has a chance?
Tim: I shrug. I like the promos, and there have been many, but the snap choice to give it an air date right before it airs makes it uphill in a different way than promoting shows that are less easily defined. I just do what I do, hope a network can bring an audience, then it’s my job to keep ‘em.
Tim: In the ballpark. It’s been a super speed up version of development. Sort of development as you go.
Kevin: Any non-linear story telling ? Out of Gas, Are You Now style episodes inthe works?
Tim: More than one, actually.
Kevin: And finally, do you think any of the potential audience will be able to specifically relate to characters in the show?
Tim: I think so.
