Yeah, 86 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: and I've learned to do better at it as I've 87 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: gotten older. But like, the hard thing about them is 88 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: like they're with people from work, so like these are 89 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: sometimes the people that are going to give you another 90 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: job later. Maybe you know, for us, it's slightly different 91 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: because like for us, we really do go job to job. Yeah, 92 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: we'll not necessarily freelance, but we do kind of as actors, 93 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: we kind of function that way, whereas like we'll wrap 94 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: a job and then you know, we can go for 95 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 2: many years on that job. But then oftentimes we'll go 96 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: to another job, or we'll go to do a movie, 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: or we'll go to do something else in another forum 98 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: of this art forum. And so, like work parties, you 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: really partying with a lot of people who either are 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: in the cast or their crew or production. 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 5: Heads of studios, executives studios. 102 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: Sometimes, Oh my god.
