It's excitement and fear. As I said, it's a terrifying job that you are, if I let something go through, if script producer misses something and an eyeline is missed or changes, that's going to mess up that entire scene. And you won't know that it's messes up the entire scene until a month from now when the editor is going through things. So it's really, it's people pleasing.

It's desperately wanting to do a good job and, you get a feeling of reward when there's a disagreement about which take or anything, and you say, okay, things are getting weird. Let's go from Charlie to Delta just to clean slate. So you're always calling things out, which makes it kind of cool. And also the thing, anyone that has spent time on a set is it's –

if the set is run correctly, like this one is, like my friend is running, it's really a relationship. I mean, you just make these intense friendships for a short period of time, almost like you kind of would. I always kind of compare filmmaking to going to war a little bit. Don't tell a veteran that. But the idea that you're encamped with these people working overly long hours.

It is summer right now, and we're filming in the valley. And so the heat is insane because you can't have air conditioning running while you're filming. So it's just very the camaraderie that you feel makes you want to do a wonderful job. And then you get home after the day and you crash because you're also kind of working a little bit on adrenaline.

Yeah. We filmed for, I think we filmed 14 days over 17 days. So yeah, it's every single day. I mean, you just, you arrange everything in your life around it. Like one of the things that I had to do during 30 nights is I had to put Foster up at his favorite camp because I couldn't have another thing to come home to be in charge of. And I was just on set yesterday.

I'm not on set for the next two days, but then I am on set Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Foster's going to camp because I know I just need all of the extra time to be able to sleep or eat or start a drug habit. I don't know exactly what's going to happen.

Yeah. That's why, yeah, filmmaking can be kind of a, it's a marathon, but it's really a sprint hiding in the guise of a marathon. It's a long time, but then it will all end. And these people that you become remarkably close to, you will never see them again. Right. You'll see some of them, some of them become like lifelong friends, like Liz did for 30 Nights, our producer. Interesting.

And a lot of the other people I've never talked to again, not because for lack of want, but just because while... That's the nomadic nature of the business. Right. While I was editing the feature, they moved on and met nine other Toms in the time that it took me. There is no other Tom. Thank you. That was a test. That was good. I appreciate it.
