Yeah.

Do you consciously keep that in mind when you're writing?

I want to ask you something about, you know, streaming versus wide release and where we're at in the business of that.

And, you know, I was having this conversation with a friend and we were talking about how, for example, West Side Story or...

licorice pizza or whatever it is that's out there that's fantastic right now how that would have fared with a really long wide release run would anybody see these things are we really truly at the point where we just want to see stuff in our homes but to the filmmaker i imagine you want it to be seen on that big screen for because of the genre of filmmaking right because of the thing that lends itself to that so what are your thoughts about that well yeah i mean i i

Exactly.
