"Cuando estás lidiando con aproximadamente dos horas y pico cada pocos años para hacer una historia, no tienes el lujo de tener tiempo en pantalla excesivo para explorar personajes secundarios"
— Michael Uslan
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you are making a short movie that only lasts a couple of hours and you only get to make one every few years. You need to focus on the main characters and the main story because there's not enough time to dive deep into everyone else's background or side stories. Think of it like telling a friend about a big adventure you had— you’d stick to the important parts that keep the story moving and hold their interest. If you try to add too much about what other people were doing, the story could get confusing or boring. The key here is to keep things simple and clear, focusing on the most important parts. So, when creating something short, stick to the main actions and main characters to make it interesting and engaging.
