Improvisation does not mean 'make it up as we go along'," said director Bill Bennett. "This is actually a very controlled film, and it's probably a bit misleading when people talk about an improvised film. They probably regard it as being a very undisciplined thing where you simply turn a camera on and the actors get out there and start saying words. In fact, very rarely do we actually get to a scene where the actors need to talk about what's being said. All of that has been discussed beforehand during rehearsals and workshops. I've also got some very specific dialogue in the script. Now it may not be word for word but each scene has a very clear notion of where that dialogue needs to travel. So it's actually a very controlled and disciplined process. I'd be crazy to go into something that was otherwise. 'Kiss or Kill' is also a good film for improvisation in that a lot of it is very reactive stuff unlike say the social realist drama documentaries I did which were heavily dialogue dependent. This isn't. But that's not to say there aren't some very demanding dialogue scenes in it."
