But you'll see some images in the storm, in the film, where

where the camera's sort of shaking and we're looking through the horse legs to the gir.

And I was holding Ben, our cinematographer, just so he could get the shot.

But we were fully locked into each other, but just being hurtled and thrown around.

And the shot's only 10 seconds, maybe five or 10 seconds, but it felt like an eternity.

And I couldn't feel my hands for several days after that.

Yeah, it's screened in their local town.

Ben Koloda, the initiating producer, actually went back there with Edward Cavanaugh, the writer of that Al Jazeera article.

And I think that would have been a beautiful full circle moment.

They said that the town just embraced the film and there was talk of even having it on permanent display in the town hall there so that, you know, people maybe if they can't do a winter herd, maybe they can at least come and

see what they've done, what they're capable of, have incredible pride for what those herders do over those long winter months and how they survive.

And the horses are their totems and their gods, you know, so the herders are like heroes over there.

And someone from our Australian team will talk to the boys nearly every day and they send photos, continue to send photos.

They seem to know if the film's at a festival or it's won an award or

in whatever country that they seem to know before we do.

And they're incredibly proud and we'll send photos of flowers or Sagana just kissing his girlfriend or just random sort of pics and emojis, which is really affirming that we're still friends.

It feels like we have a friendship for life.

Oh, you just can't.

I had a very idyllic privilege.

Yeah.
