Um, we actually, uh, didn't spend an outrageous amount of money on it.
It was very indie production.
We just took a lot of time on the production front and got our ducks in a row.
And that was primarily me spearheading that we found an actual plane.
We actually had two planes that had real rear staircases.
We originally were going to shoot on an actual seven 27 with what they call the Cooper vein, which was the lock that locked the staircase and
that they put on there after this man hijacked a plane.
So he's responsible for that as well.
Unfortunately, we couldn't shoot at the Ontario airport where we found that plane because of, ironically, security.
So we had to go to a skydiving airport in Paris, California.
All this was also shot in Southern California, all the recrees at least.
And had an actual skydiving crew and a plane that had a rear staircase.
We were able to recreate all of that.
So yeah, it was a fun, very, very intensive, involved production.
As to why Netflix or Hulu did not buy it, they had the opportunity, you'll have to ask them.
There's a lot of mandates and things that they think the public wants, which I think a lot of the public disagrees with, and they buy what they think the public wants or they make what they think the public wants in it.
I don't know if that's necessarily true, but it was not this initially.
And we decided after some offers to distribute it ourselves because then we get to control it and we also get to distribute it how we want to.
Yeah.
And most of them were.
