It wasn't until I think I watched our notes screening, and we had a big notes screening when we were editing, where I realized how much a movie like this needs to be seen in a theater.

And so to answer the question, I think when we were making it, I mean, even though I would have always loved it to be in a theater, I don't think I ever was dead set on it being released in theaters.

Like it really should be seen in the theater and it's really nice to see it with people. Yeah. To experience it together. It should be just, you know, you forget. Yeah.
