And these were like a lot of very small art films.

And I was there at a movie, tiny movie that me and my brother made.

And there's other movies that we like.

And they sat us all in one room.

They said, one of you will be leaving with 200,000 euro.

And it's look to your right and look to your left and it might be them and it might not be you.

And all of a sudden, everyone's looking at each other like, oh, you get competitive.

Yeah.

And like, holy shit.

And it was horrible.

I didn't like that.

I thought I was coming to this festival to share this thing, get to see Poland.

Then that volcano happened to the volcano eruption that no one could say the name of that volcano.

And then all of a sudden, all of the U.S.

judges who were supposed to come in and be a part of the government were grounded in America.

So I'm like, oh, shoot, our best.

You know, you and Benny and I are figuring out how and how we're not going to win because we had these U.S.

judges.

So then we partnered with another filmmaker.

We're like, all right, if you win, which we thought they had another great movie, if you win, let's share the money.
