00:05What led to that decision, and was there ever anyone who was like,

00:11You know, as I was writing, you know, for me, if I'm going to write a script,
00:17I set aside some time, and it's a very intense period where I'm just all in on writing.

00:25I'm going through research materials and just living it.
00:31And, yeah, I don't know exactly what to say other than I thought,

00:40I want there to be life.

01:05and I was very happy that we were able to film it
01:11and that, yeah, that people have responded the way that they have to it.
