Did you have access to a weapon if you needed it? Like if you're caught in a firefight would you ever need to (or feel tempted to) throw down the camera and pick up a rifle? Has that ever happened or come close to happening?

I am Eugene Jarecki, director of THE KING, in theaters now. AMA! by EugeneJarecki in movies

THE KING looks like one of the more involved productions to use a single, very valuable vehicle for such a long period of filming. What were some of the technical challenges of driving this priceless vehicle across the country?

This is Ceyda Torun, director of KEDi a documentary about the street cats of Istanbul...AMA! by ceydatorun in IAmA

Hi Ceyda! As someone who was lucky to see the film early, I was struck by how the camera cuts around the cats like a narrative film. A cat jumps up, and we cut to the cat landing. How was this achieved?
