Welcome to the Salaritus Director Commentary Series, Episode 1.

Hi, this is Andrew Adel, the creator of Salaritus, and this is the beginning of the director

commentary series. We're going to go through, have a conversation about each episode and some of the

stories behind how they were made and some of the lore behind the characters.

If you like Salaritus and you like this kind of storytelling,

please follow me on Instagram at an account called ZA underscore output where I'm documenting a few times a week

the process of writing a brand new screenplay.

And all of the twists and turns and the challenges of taking story notes and meetings with managers,

how to solve story problems and how to think about structure.

If that sounds interesting to you, check it out.

I'm here with old friend and unofficial editor of Salaritus Ryan Coleman, who I was on the phone with for half the time I was trying to get this show done.

Not many people know more about this show than Ryan.

The last name is Coleman, the namesake of the Coleman Pit from...

Somewhere Deep in Mars. We were going to go through episode one today, talk about some of the

backstory and where the show came from. We'll be running this like a casual conversation

podcast with occasionally hit and play and listening to the show for a bit

and then pausing and kind of talking about different moments

director commentary stuff

Let's talk about the music.

Sure.

One of the things, the weirdest thing about this show is how much it came from music
