My son, that was my counterpart on that movie, Racer, he was my sound guy, like I said, came up with Sharkboy and Lava Girl when he was little. He became my writer, co-writer, co-producer. He had come to me and said, I want to do VR type movie. And I said, oh, let me show you as an example of creativity and manifesting. I said, let me show you how it works. Let's make a company.
We'll make a company called Double R. Double R Productions, because we all have Double R names, all the kids. So if anyone ever wants to do anything, we can use our company. So let's make a logo and I'll make t-shirts and notepads and stuff. Because once you have a company, you now have to make things for that company.

Just like the advice I gave to people, stop aspiring, make a business card that says, writer, director, cinematographer, I did, editor, because then now you have to conform to that identity. So now if I create a label like Double R, we're going to come up with ideas. We'll call up VR companies and say, hey, we have a company, a VR company.

Would you like us to make you a film for your, sell your headset? So yeah, they gave us a budget. They're dying for content. They gave us a budget. We shot a 20-minute action movie called The Limit with Michelle Rodriguez and Norman Reedus, where you're in an action movie with them. And it was killer. They made us a big double R logo, animated logo. Later that year, we did Red 11, same logo.

That movie went to directors Fortnite and Cannes. Festivals were paying us to come talk about how we made that movie. That's when we were doing the cards, throwing the cards out, because they wanted their audiences, they knew they would love that. So we could have had a whole gig just continuing to get paid to go to the festival. Usually you pay to go to a festival. You don't get paid.

That's how, what a success that was. But then we had to make We Can Be Heroes. So we had to stop. But We Can Be Heroes was a Netflix movie. where they asked me to make a Spy Kids type thing. And so I thought, oh, okay, I'll just do it with superheroes. I wrote it with my kids, based it on some of their personalities.

It's the most watched and rewatched movie in Netflix history, like nothing can touch it, because kids just keep watching it over and over, because it's kids with superpowers. No one's ever done that before. And they couldn't believe it. I'd heard anecdotally, that's how the Spy Kids, people said, oh, the kids watch it over and over on video, but you can't keep track of that. You can't on Netflix.

Because their biggest thing is people completing a movie. A lot of people don't complete a movie and it still counts as a view. They may watch five minutes and change the channel. So do you complete a movie? That's really where they really value. Not only do they complete, but re-watch, re-watch, re-watch per household so many times. That one has a double R logo as well.
