I'm not emailing Lucasfilm every day or anything like that.
It's just like a couple times a year.
And then the position opens up at the Navajo Nation Museum to be the director.
We move our family back to our beloved res.
And then the idea resurges again.
And I'm like, I'm going to try this other door.
Send the email off again.
And one day, you know, the email pops up.
And it's from Michael from Lucasfilm.
And he popped into his email and says...
We got your message, and this is something that we're interested in.
And then, of course, I call my wife first.
I'm like, guess who I got an email from?
It's like, Lucasfilm, they're on.
They want to do this.
The stipulation, though, was that we would have to fund the production.
The Navajo Nation would have to fund this production.
