Well, because it's stop motion and we weren't, you know, we were like fully funded by Cinerich.

It's like, it's not a studio.

It's like basically like getting arts grants, basically.

And which also gave us total freedom.

Yeah, which is really great.

And it took a long time.

The film was improvised off of a long treatment.

So we would record, improvise, and then Dean and Nick would go back and cull through all the audio and start to make a script off of that and then write things that we should say and go back into more improvising.

And that process itself took about a couple of years.

Yeah, then I think the order was we locked the audio play, like everything that Marcel and his grandmother is the only other character besides Dean.

Grandmother played by Isabella Rossellini, who is incredible.

She has a beautiful voice, yeah.

And so we did, and she let us go to her farm to improvise.

It's in New York.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's in this city.

It's so weird.

It's on 56th Street.

Yeah, so strange.

Yeah, it's called Yes and Farm.
