Yeah.

And then it starts and it changes.

But that to me is the entertainment business.

You can't blame him because it's the deal.

So the Joe Swanberg movies I make, Drinking Buddies, Win It All, all those, we just made one in Alaska together.

So while you're making those contracts with whosoever financing it,

That's where you do the distribution of points.

So what you can do is you could say, we're making this, I think they made those for 750,000 bucks, right?

And that's a number, we make movies for that same number.

So you don't have money to pay the sound department what they're gonna get if they're doing a huge show or a movie.

So you offer them essentially scale, which is so small.

The class move is you create a payment structure that goes, financiers put in, let's say 800, they recoup plus 20%.

So whatever that is, when you're at 1.1 or whatever, then you're going to do your backend payments, your bonuses to your director and your main talent.

Let's say everyone gets about 200 grand.

So then at 1.82 million, you've totally recouped.

So after that, it is all profit.

So cut the crew into that profit.

But to say to a first-time director, that's on you to understand the payment structure of an indie movie in case it blows up, you're out of fucking line.

It's the financiers, it is the producers, and it's the people who are going to maximize huge profit.

It's on them.
