Recently a peculiar detail about a House of the Dragon director has come to light.

Director Loni Peristere’s special way of filming

The Witcher boss Lauren Schmidt Hissrich told Digital Spy in a recent interview, “Loni Peristere [one Director] has little index cards that he hands out to every single background actor, and they have: ‘Here’s your name. Here’s why you’re here. Here’s your special skill. You’re a drunk. You like wine. You like to dance.’ Whatever it is – so that they can own their own story. That’s the detail that’s going into this.”
