“Sense8” is one of TV’s craziest, most unique series, and no one knows that superior than executive producer Grant Hill — the guy who has to deal with the show’s insane production logistics. While in the plump of production, the cast and crew are constantly traveling from location to location, literally spanning the globe over the course of months.
Hill began functional with Lana and Lilly Wachowski as the unit production manager (UPM) on “The Matrix Reloaded,” and has been involved with all of their projects ever since. But the challenges presented by “Sense8” were a step beyond what he’d been asked to do before. “Probably the hardest but the best choice we made was that we wanted to film everything that was scripted in a particular city in that city,” he explained.

Netflix’s soapy sci-fi series from Lana and Lilly Wachowski, Sense8, revolves around a telepathically-connected collective of strangers called Sensates. Located all over the world, these diverse individuals can see and even teleport via their fellow Sensates’ minds to facilitate each other, especially when avoiding the dangerous rival Whispers, who is determined to track the Sensates down.
