It's the armchair expert. I mean, can I pay? Even the promoting thing. I just got back from Poland promoting the movie that I filmed in Poland and being there to promote it. I was staying in literally the nicest hotel in Warsaw and it was the hotel that we would pass every day as we went to our bad apartments. And it's so funny.

So I'm like, oh my God, this is what it feels like to promote a thing versus when you're making a thing and there's a small budget for making an independent film and there's no money for any of that stuff.

So it's the best we ever live. You have just explained something that I have tried to articulate for a long time because it sounds like a little inside baseball-y of the movie industry. But what you just described is the very strange economy of promoting a movie. Yeah. And they have a set budget. They're like, we're going to spend 30 million marketing this or 5 million, whatever it is.

So you doing that one magazine thing is the equivalent of them buying an ad in that same magazine, which would cost way more than your $150 hotel room. But for us, the trickle down, just ripple effect of it is you feel like this is crazy. It's the only time you feel like a movie star. Exactly.

And the movie I made was $3 million, which again, this sounds a little insidery baseball, but it's like very, very little money to make like a real movie that requires tons of sets, et cetera. Absolutely.
