Supernatural from Script to Screen: Writer Davy Perez
.
"We are all pushing each other and trying to outdo each other. It is all fun and competitiveness, but we are all pushing the envelope and trying to do the best show we can."
– James Pickel, Supernatural Editor
Supernatural From Script to Screen is a series of interviews with the crew of Supernatural by Jules Wilkinson, Supernatural Wiki Administrator.
Writer Davy Perez joined Supernatural in Season 12. I spoke to him on his return from visiting the set in Vancouver just after of the airing of 12.12 Stuck in the Middle (With You).
Jules: Is that the first time you've been up to Vancouver?
Davy: That was my first time up to Vancouver, and I wish I had gone sooner. It was really inspiring and it was very fun to meet everyone face to face and spend some time with them.
As writer, sometimes you think of these big ideas and you put everything in a script and then you go up there and you realise, oh these are the people that have to bring those big ideas to life. You begin to understand some of the notes that you get back. They're certainly a very talented and amazing crew that does mere impossible things, but it does put a lot of things in perspective when you get to see it all come to life, in real time.
Wherever you are physically located is going to have some effect on what the world looks like. Fortunately for us our story takes place in a slice of middle America that Vancouver can double for very easily.
Supernatural is set in a unique version of small town America where some old gas stations and diners might still exist, and it's very…for me I love going to places like that whenever I do travel so the fact that we can create more of those and pretend that they still exist is awesome.
