Yes, they funded it.

So that was my first documentary, and it was a passion project.

Oh, wow.

And so that led to the Pixar story.

And then it went from there.

It was like ILM saw it and said, will you tell the George Lucas story of ILM?

And then it led to actually Recycled Life was right after that, though.

That was about people living in the largest landfill in Central America in Guatemala City.

So that was my second film.

That I directed and shot and edited and pretty much did all of it except produce it.

And that led to an Oscar nomination and then Pixar story got Emmy nominated.

So I think between the two back to back, it kind of solidified this future path of dots, which I really enjoy doing.

I mean, I think it was both.

I love to travel.

I love to meet people.

I love to interview people.
