This story could only be told through a serialized narrative; it was far too complex and multi-layered for a more limited format. In a way, the show is like psychotherapy that goes well with popcorn.
The series takes place in a hauntingly beautiful small town, in the middle of summer, and it boasts a rich and vibrant local milieu, as well as some subtle moments of humor. When you have such a lively setting for a murder mystery, it takes on a slightly surreal flavor, and allows us to play with other genre elements. There is a whole subplot related to those prophetic dreams, and how they were exploited during the war.
We made that up, but we were inspired by the real efforts of Yugoslavian military, back in the seventies, to develop a special class of soldiers with telekinetic powers. Which just underlines my point that reality is quite surreal sometimes. In one scene, Sonia asks a suspect to write down an address so that she can lift his prints from the pen, and I found it refreshing that you kept the camera wide, such that only a focused eye might catch the way she lifts the paper to protect the print.
How do you use this subtlety in direction without it becoming too subtle? In the case of that scene, and the series in general, we wanted them to feel a little bit challenged and active, not only about the mystery case, but also about the personal truths Sonja is searching for. If we get the audience active about them both, they will end the season feeling richer inside.
How do you approach direction when you have a lucky magnetism between two actors such as this? These two were definitely not pretending. They clicked right away and became close friends, they supported one another, even their horoscopes are a perfect match. However, there is always the danger in assuming that off-screen chemistry will for sure translate into on-screen chemistry. How do I know?
You can see the L. Cruise terminal in the background. I was there recently, shooting photos of the terminal as a location for "Dexter". Here is an aerial photo of the bridge. And here is a map link. And here's a Google still photo showing the rest of the bridge. A later scene of them rescuing the young girl from the kidnapper's motor home That much is clear from the view of the downtown L. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where in the huge park, but somewhere near the Griffith Park helipad on Vista del Valle Drive would seem to be a good guess.
Here is an aerial map of that Griffith helipad location. In the second episode of "Awake", we finally get to see the exterior of the Britten's family home , in a scene where the wife comes out of the house to look at her son's motorcycle. Here is an aerial photo of the house. Here is a map view. And here is a matching Google StreetView panorama. Do not trespass on their property, knock on their door, or do anything else that might disturb the residents.
Another house in the same neighborhood, is seen in the same 2nd episode.
