I mean, I've been doing it for almost 50 years.

And we started off in film and analog with razor blades, cutting film and

Taping them together and drawing grease pencils on the film and then, you know, digital editing and videotape.

And we were always 10 years behind intentionally so that the technological tail didn't wag the dog.

I love it.

And so we're just perpetually Luddites catching up with everything.

But we're doing the old broadcast stuff too.

I went to 40 cities, had 80 screenings, but also did 75 podcasts from Joe Rogan to whatever the comparable is on the other side.

Mark Twain said, if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

So I said the same thing to Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn, as I said to the New York Times, to inner city kids in Charleston and Detroit and suburban kids in Chicagoland and all the other places.

And it worked out okay because the story is so compelling that a lot of these divisions, which we think are completely clogging our arteries, fall away.

Because if you tell a good story, then...

You tell a good story and everybody's got an interest in a good story.

When you were talking to Theo and Joe and guys like that, that may be, you know, perceived on a number of issues, lean a little bit more to the right.

Were they surprised by the fact that we are so surprised by this division that we have in this country and you're able to contextualize that and say, you know, give me a break?

You know, particularly with this film, which is as much about the Civil War, not just the World War.

Right.

No, no, no.

And I think one of the things about the revolution is that it is a civil war.

It's a revolution.
