I mean, for me as a filmmaker, you know, I was capturing a creative process, right?
And, like, if you're writing your stand-up set and things like that, you don't want someone with a camera in your face.
And so I kind of gave them a distance in a way where they could be creative, but...
also creating this intimacy in the documentary.
So it was like over time where, you know, it was sort of more a fly on the wall in the beginning, but as I got to know them more, like I would, you know, ask them questions and interact with them more.
It's funny, there's a scene in the film where, you know, they're all having dinner, they're eating like Korean barbecue and they could hear my stomach growl.
And they would come to me.
They would, like, turn to me and be like, do you want to eat now?
I was like, no, I can't.
I can't be that person.
And so immediately when I got home, I would order Korean barbecue.
Did your stomach growling make the edit?
Did you leave it in the edit?
If you listen to it very closely, you hear it.
It's RFK in the background.
It's RFK.
This is kind of my fault for being a shitty host.
I didn't really set up what this documentary is about.
It's actually a very specific moment in time.
This isn't like the whole history of BTS.
