“Code 3” — the action-comedy centered on a paramedic’s life in crisis — hits select theaters this week, and co-writer Patrick Pianezza joins Better Every Shift to detail the behind-the-scenes movie magic that transformed his real-life EMS experiences into an independent film starring Rainn Wilson, Lil Rel Howery and Aimee Carrero. Pianezza, who also served as a volunteer firefighter, shares his process capturing both the pressures and the humanity of EMS work — all wrapped in some seriously dark humor — plus all this:

  • The scene he loves that didn’t make the movie

  • The “Usual Suspects” moment that shifted the tone

  • His push to “go darker” with the humor

  • The medical scene they had to get right — his moviemaking “hill to die on”
