Reel-time Direction

NZ-born Rodney Charters (The Pretender, Roswell) is the directing force behind the latest US television sensation, 24. Described as “a heart-stopping hit,” the 24 hour-long episodes represent one day in the life of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland). Says co-star Sarah Wynter: “We’re challenged by the real-time format … I feel like I’m making a one-hour film every week.”
