Sure.
So basically I had a really terrible experience with Hollywood distribution back in 2008.
They made our film, made a lot of money for the company and they didn't pay us.
So kind of turned around and said, well, this doesn't make any sense.
Uh, the last statement that we had from them was, uh, after a couple months, they owed us 30 grand.
They continued to sell the movie for another two years and we never saw a dime and forgot another statement from them.
Uh, that was, they were the sole distributor.
So, um, I, unfortunately we just didn't get the numbers from them after that.
But, um, we basically saw nothing.
Oh man, I'd have to go back and check the contract.
It was eight years ago.
Okay.
Got it.
All right.
So what happened?
They didn't pay you.
So they didn't pay us.
And, uh,
I was putting together the investment plan for the next film.
And in the film industry, the pattern or the process is we put together what's called comparables, where we show other films and how they've done.
