Because directing teams are so rare in our early career. They were so rare and people were weirded out by it. But now there's lots of directing teams and we have a bit of a reputation. So now we just, you know how it is now. We just come down and like, shut up guys, shut up. I mean, we used to have just one of you talk.

The DGA, the Director's Guild of America, is OK with it now. But if you, for example, Joel and Ethan Coen, their first five movies, I think, are produced by Ethan, directed by Joel, because they would not give them shared credit, even though they directed them together.
