In a 2012 interview with Stephen Gurewitz for Bomb magazine, Kentucker Audley spoke about his filmmaking philosophy: "...it's interactive-the viewer plays a part. It's the difference between sitting at a table all night and listening to one person tell all the stories, VS. having a conversation where other people contribute opinions and attitudes and personalities. That's another part of my approach. Things Caroline White says in Open Five 2 for instance, are not her interpreting lines I've written for her, it's her expressing her own personality. So all over the movie, you're getting actual distinctive personas, not a persona filtered through me, as the writer / director."
