“Çka e veçon këtë program të parë”, thotë Artrit Bytyçi nga StoryLab, në bashkëpunim me të cilin është zhvilluar programi, “është mënyra se si i kemi strukturuar punëtoritë dhe ligjëratat. Për të shkruar efektivisht për film, një krijues duhet të dijë ta dekodoj gjuhën e filmit, të ketë njohuri për artin e fotografisë, muzikës dhe aktrimit. Poashtu është mirë të mësohet arti i të intervistuarit. Nëse shkruan për film, intervista me një aktore apo regjisore do të shtojë një dimension shtesë të interpretimit të filmit.”
