"Cuando estás lidiando con aproximadamente dos horas y pico cada pocos años para hacer una historia, no tienes el lujo de tener tiempo en pantalla excesivo para explorar personajes secundarios"

Simplified Meaning:

When creating movies, there's limited time to tell the whole story. Usually, a movie lasts around two hours, and since it takes a long time to make a movie, the creators have to focus on the main points. That means they can't spend too much time talking about side characters or smaller details. Imagine if a friend was telling you a story about their vacation in just a few minutes—they would only mention the most exciting parts and the people most involved in the adventure. They wouldn't have time to tell you about every single person they met. This means that in movies, directors must choose carefully what to show and who to focus on. If you’re making a movie, keep the story focused on the main characters and the most important parts to keep it interesting and within the time limit.
