00:00 I wanted to ask about the way you opened the series,
00:04 because it was really surprising to me
00:05 about that supernatural way that you opened the show.
00:09 I was wondering if you could talk about the decision
00:12 to open that show in that way
00:14 and maybe some more context around it.
00:17 Yeah, you know, I think, you know,
00:19 we always knew that we were going to tell
00:20 a sort of grounded street level,
00:23 kind of a grittier side of things,
00:26 a story revolving around Maya Lopez.
00:29 But the other thing we always knew we were going to explore
00:30 was her ancestors or her ancestral lineage.
00:35 We didn't know that we were going to explore
00:37 her matrilineal ancestor line.
00:38 That was something that sort of came about
00:40 in the writing process and as the project evolved.
00:43 And then as we went further and further back in time,
00:46 and as we incorporated the Choctaw Nation,
00:51 then we got to create more specifics.
00:54 So in the beginning of the first episode,
00:57 we actually are there for one of the
01:00 Choctaw creation stories.
01:02 And that was something that came as a direct result
01:04 of our collaboration with the Choctaw Nation.
