Kim is awesome! Quite a change, to go from semi-retirement to something as demanding as SPN!
I also love the techie in the backround at 2:17 carrying what looks to be a boombox! Hard work out there in Vancouver! lol jk

Kim's work has always centered on his understated but very recognizable style to both involve the viewer with humour and enough fright to scare the bejesus out of you!

Thanks for giving the fans what they want. Kim Manners! He's great and so is this interview. Even though I think Season 3 has slipped quite badly, I still have faith in a show that has directors like this - along with actors like Jared and Jensen and Jim, of course.

Kim Manners is incredible. The show would not be the same without him. Love the interviews, and the style where he lets his guests just talk. Great stuff.

Kim Manners is absolutely brilliant...his influence is obvious in all of the episodes he directs, and I'm constantly in awe of the shots he comes up with. And to actually have a sense of humor on top of it all? LOVE IT! Thank you so much for this interview!

Thank you for this - keep these interviews coming! Kim Manners is so incredibly talented as both a producer and a director; I give many, many thanks that Supernatural brought and has kept him out of his semi-retirement. I would love to hear more from him about the challenges and the fun of both producing and directing this show.
And how about chatting with Cyrus Yavneh, while you're at it? I am LOVING these behind the scenes interviews. Thank you, Jason and the CW!

Kim Manners is AWESOME!! I could watch him talk about the behind-the-scenes workings of Supernatural for hours. It's obvious how passionate he is about his work & how dedicated he is to this show. A BIG "thank you" to Kim & all of the Supernatural crew for all their hard work.
And thanks for the great interview!

Thanks for this - I could do with another hour or so of listening to Kim. He is a brilliant director, and I don't think fans realise the awesome job he and Cyrus do in producing this show.

We'll definitely keep watching. No worries there. =)
