It was rather startling to see a credit for writing come up after the
movie. How much of it is actually pre-planned?
REGGIO
It's an act of constant discovery, but there must be a method. In
retrospect, I think it would have been better to have said
"dramaturgical treatment" by rather than "written by."
DARE
So there is a drama?
REGGIO
Absolutely. If you just shoot from the hip, then you'll get a haphazard
result without a point of view, or an essence inside that allows a life
to emerge. It also doesn't have the motivation to carry forth as a
project. While there's not the specificity of a screenplay, which means
characterization, dialogue, or plot, there has to be a point of view,
there has to be a concept, there has to be some dramatic element of how
you want the film to move, there's even the elements of the traditional
beginning, middle, and end.

Actually, the title originally referred to robot space explorers. :)
