And so I have developed an appreciation for that. And I'm a little bit more forgiving now also of... Only a little bit, but a little bit more forgiving of movies that I watch that don't quite nail it because I can kind of see... I can see how that might happen, even with all the best intentions.

Yeah, that's for sure. I'm very involved in all my projects. Part of that is... The way I feel about it is I'm on camera, I have to own this thing. If it fails, if it's bad, primarily the embarrassment's gonna go to me. So if it is gonna fail, then I wanna actually know that it was my fault.

But to be embarrassed by something being bad, I don't want to look at it and say, well, that wasn't even my fault, because that makes me feel helpless. I want to be able to know that I have ownership of this thing. So I'm very involved every step of the way on the production end of things.

Now, we do also have a director, Justin Folk, who directed the last two films, who's an excellent, incredibly talented director. So I can kind of defer to him. So he's actually the one running all of this. And I don't have to take a real kind of management role, which is good because that's not my strong suit at all. But on the creative end of things, I like to be very involved the whole way.

And you're also right about I think this is one of the hazards of not just movies, but doing anything creatively is just getting anyone around you who will be honest with you and give you real feedback. That becomes a real problem in a creative world. Now, I have one major advantage, which is I do have the person who's the very closest to me on earth is my wife.

will actually be brutally honest, which I've realized is like a major, major... It's like an ace up my sleeve. It's a major weapon that I have.

But that's a whole additional brain, Matt. Right, exactly. Which also makes me... It makes me, so with both movies, I didn't show them to her until they were very far along. Because I was terrified to show them to her because I knew that she'd be honest. And if she didn't like it, I didn't know how I would handle that.
