The "Pilot" of "Preacher" was directed by series creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, both first-time television directors. Prior to directing for the series, Rogen and Goldberg's directorial filmography included "This Is the End" (2013) and "The Interview" (2014). Shortly after the airing of the pilot, AMC released a featurette titled "Directors' Commentary On “Pilot”" which went into greater detail about the creation of the pilot episode, with both Rogen and Goldberg providing commentary and insight into its construction. The directors were intent on challenging themselves within the production, with the budget limitations helping in that regard, as it forced both men to become even more creative, to which Rogen remarked, "We were very concerned about our budget on this show, and how good our visual effects would be. We said, 'Let’s not even try to make it look like good visual effects; let’s make it look like visual effects from 1967,' so this is what we came up with." Rogen and Goldberg wanted each character from the series and their storylines to have "[...] its own look, own lighting style, and own camera style".
