1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Morning. Everybody is DJ and V Charlomagne the guy. We 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got our special guest hosts 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: La La, and we have the cast of Fear in 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: the building and the director J T. You direct the 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: movie like The Intrude and Black and Blue and Traffic. 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: Do we still consider you an independent filmmaker? I have 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: to be because I'm still making them independent, right, Okay, Okay, yeah, yeah, man? 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: But this hitting in body a small production company, No, man, 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: I think we've now got our name out there. There 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: ain't so much hidden anymore. But we are still one 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent independent and doing our own thing, owning our 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: own films. But this was a little bit different though, 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: because these two brothers to my left as well as 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: Joe Spahkora also producers UM and also have percentage and 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: ownership in this movie with us. So this a little 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: bit of a different marketing tool we're on now. Man. 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: We're doing it from the creative side and the business side. 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: Which let's talk about it For people that don't know 19 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: what fear is. What is fear? Break down? An emotion? Right? 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: It's um. It's a psychological thriller, man. It taps into 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: UM the innermost darkest UH apprehensions of a group of 22 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: a group of friends that come to a large UH 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: in the height of the pandemic. It just so happens 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: to be hunted, you know. And and the spirits that 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: hunt this large they pull out the fears of people 26 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: and use it against them. But it's not a scary movie. 27 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: They're saying, it's not a who's that this is scary? Know, 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: he said. He said he didn't feel like it was 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: scary to him because that like thirty three minutes, that's 30 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: when I cut it off. I was like, nah, cut 31 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: off at three minute. I was home alone at the time. Yeah, 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: yourself a DISSERVI because you know, right at thirty five 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: then when it gets as when they go crazy and 34 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: now I mean I think, um, you know, man, it's 35 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: really about people tapping into the to the things that 36 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: you know. You know how they talk about self taught. 37 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: You know, you're a big on mental health and awareness, 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and you know how self taught. The things you think 39 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: inside your man more important than the things you confess outside, 40 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, with your mouth, and they tap into the 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: things that you feel about yourself. That's why this is 42 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the type of harror movie that I feel like you 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: can only make it in twenty twenty three because we 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: ain't scared of no monsters or nothing. Real life. Yeah, yeah, 45 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: And that's what the movie deals with, is the manifestation 46 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: of the consciousness. So inside the film, what happens is 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: all the characters are dealing with something, you know, the 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: most unique thing we have on earth, which is the mind. 49 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: So whatever it is that you could actually manifest or see, 50 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: whether that's good or bad, that's actually what you bring 51 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: it to your reality. So the movie is really cool 52 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: that way, and it's a big conversation piece. Man. We've 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: been touring the last week now. We did like five 54 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: six cities, and every time we screened the movie, it's, 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's been like an hour of Q and 56 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: A after everyone about what the mind is doing and 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: how it's doing it. It's a lot to do with 58 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: mental illness too, man like, you know, So it's dope 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: that way. And the end I think it's just spectacular, 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: man Like what we the message we get, which is 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: how do you defeat fear? So filming this was horrifying. 62 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: Dion made us floor like we didn't have no trailer 63 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: a man. I told him I would go refer I 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: mean like refer it for me though you know what 65 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But but that, but I will tend you 66 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: that the large week film don really is haunted yea, 67 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: and no it is that the story that they told 68 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: that was real. Shit. No, that story that with the 69 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: with the the killing of the witches and all that 70 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: shit is real. Got to sleep there though, Yes, yeah, 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: this is really left. What did you see, Terrice? Did 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: you see anything when you were there sleeping? So I'm 73 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: not a When I pulled up my mattress, there were 74 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: spiders that came out from the bed. They had to 75 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: change like the bed that I was in, Like it 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: was terrifle. It was terrifying. It was terrifying after the 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: spiders came under your mattress. I'm a method active baby. 78 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: You guys. Remember this was this was the first movie 79 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: that was shot during the pandemic. So we actually went 80 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: to the CDC and had the conversation with them before 81 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: they started doing the bubble and all that. We were 82 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: the first ones to do it. We were actually driving 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: people or driving test results to LA and back every day. 84 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: That's how he got us all there. So that's how 85 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: we were able to get there. Joseph Coor drove from 86 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: New York to Lake Taho to do this film. Terrence Tip. 87 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: Everybody came down and descended into one location so we 88 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: could make the movie. Originally I was going to do 89 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: it with a cameraphone, and then I got a little 90 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: bit more risky. I was like, man, I wonder if 91 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: I could call it a real DP and really shoot this. 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: And so I think it's really great about the film 93 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: is in between takes you will see when you go 94 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: see the movie, Wise call fears because you could really 95 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: see every actor in there really dealing with something. Because 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: this is at a time where we didn't know so 97 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: now everybody's cool, Now everybody tough. Now everybody know everything. 98 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: But this is when we were watching CNN and ten 99 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: Thousand Bodies every day. We were saying, you know what 100 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is that moment. So to be able 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: to do that film during that time, and shout out 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: to Rock sam Man for producing a film during that 103 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: but we did it, man. And now to have a 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: movie that looks like this and feels like this fresh 105 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: new it's pretty dope. And that's how it got us 106 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: all there, because you know, he called me and say, man, 107 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shot the movie. I said, Man, any nobody's 108 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: shooting the movie now, I want to shoot the movie. 109 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: I said, all right, win he say, like Thursday, And 110 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: that's what happened. We just I mean, really it was 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: is I guess it's spontaneous as it sounds. That's exactly 112 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: how I went down. And as soon as I showed up, 113 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: I saw Terence and it ain't like, you know, I 114 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: got to show up and prepare and go to wardrobe 115 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: like I showed them. Hey, which which we're right now here. Yeah, 116 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: let's go. First scenes coming right up. The campfire scene 117 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: that was. That was like thirty minutes after I got 118 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Really I love that. I love that there's such a 119 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: grittiness and and so authentic. One is done that way, 120 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: like when you just in the trenches shooting a movie 121 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: as a labor of love. Everybody's just putting their best 122 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: foot forward. It's not about the hair to make up, 123 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: the clothes. It's really about just digging in and getting 124 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: into it. You got to be a beast to do that. Yeah, 125 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: he he his dog. So you thought to yourself, Bend, 126 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 1: let's use no budget whatsoever. Us what the film represented 127 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: was the moment of the time we were in. So 128 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: even when Tip out there, right, you know, I when 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: he got there, I looked at him. I was I 130 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: was like, that's it, this is the moment. This is 131 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: what he looks like, you know what I mean? And yeah, 132 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: no no budget at all. You know. What we were 133 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: trying to do is just be raw and be ugly 134 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: and capture what it felt like during that time. But 135 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: the twist is when you go to the theater you'll 136 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: understand what we're going with this, because, like I said, 137 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: fear is a powerful, powerful emotion and it would look 138 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: it could it could manifest in a very very hurtful way. 139 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: So what I thought was really cool about the movies, 140 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: as we keep growing it and growing it. I was 141 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: standing this the other day, like during that time, and 142 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: even now, like you feel like I I mean, I 143 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: feel like I got a little thing right here. You're 144 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: gonna line, you start searching, you go down the rabbit 145 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: hole for you know, you didn't diagnose yourself, right, So 146 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I got this And so this energy is in this film, right. 147 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: How we perceive television is in this film. How we 148 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: perceive everything that we consume and how we regurgitated. It's 149 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: in this film about the campfire scene. That's the scene 150 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: where you guys start talking about your fears. So let 151 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: me ask you guys in real life, what is your 152 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: biggest fear? Start with you, TJ. My biggest fear is 153 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: just not maximizing my full potential, you know, waking up 154 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: an old man and looking back and feeling like I 155 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: left something on the table. And so that's why every 156 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: morning I get up, I'm like, you know, I don't 157 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: want to leave anything behind in this life, you know, 158 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: So that would probably be it is that while you're 159 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: looking alone, walk in front of you and my sister, 160 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: my sister. That's like my sister, how did this even 161 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: go left?

And it's what's crazy as we 185 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: deal with all this in the film. Yeah, I'm thinking 186 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: about the movie.

What we were like, man, just 199 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: thinking it out loud like tip Terry She that mean, 200 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: like how they how it happens is pretty dope?

And back to what she was 204 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: asking about budget, you know, we put all the money 205 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: on the screen. So it's like, you know, when he 206 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: asked you to participate in something like that, you want 207 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: to get paid six figures to be in it, or 208 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: you want to invest six figures and have a seat 209 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: at the table. And so that's the beauty of what 210 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: Dion's created with This is where you know, producers complete 211 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: profit participation and I and I love that because it's 212 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: all about you know, Boston up, It's all about us 213 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: working together. It's not reaching up. There's no studio handing 214 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: us down money. It's completely self finance, looking depend If 215 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: anybody look not looking dependent, like they didn't tell me 216 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: that right now, I would have never thought that. Watching 217 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: it feel like get Out, it's not that I think 218 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: about that's why you know, the people and get out. 219 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: The actors they got shot to get out there. Your 220 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: mouth to guard is yet this get out? And in 221 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: the movie a little bit any parts checked with an 222 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: armored truck on a pillow in a box. His first 223 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: road he checked from Get Up. Yeah, but I think 224 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: like what this represents everyone. I think everyone talks a 225 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: good game about this black excellence and building our own 226 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: and but it's very seldom man, that we actually really 227 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: work together. And people, Yeah, people don't want to have 228 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: that conversation about like, you know, working with people that 229 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: look just like you, and especially in this industry, man, 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: where people are actually the ones that look like you 231 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: could be the most cutthroat you know, and the most 232 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: people that have pushed you away so very clickish, you 233 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So for us independently, man, I've 234 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: been you know, this took us a long time to 235 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: be able to build this, but now, like movies like 236 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, Black and Blue and Intruder and you know 237 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: all these other films we didn't made Supremacy, Yeah with rehearsal, 238 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: Ali and Danny Glover, like now to be able to 239 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: do it at this level and now also be inclusive 240 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: and work with other people, this movie could go much 241 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: further than I could throw it based on the fact 242 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: that these guys could run faster than me too, you 243 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So this should be like the 244 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: new brand of what we're trying to build in Hollywood, 245 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: you know, which is really everybody working together and building 246 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: something and owning something collectively, not just one person getting 247 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: rich or getting empowered or So this movie works, we 248 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: do it again, and then we do it again, and 249 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: then these guys actually participate because right now no one 250 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: owns IPS. I was going to say, it's just so 251 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: that's what's so important. And one thing about you, Dan 252 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: is you're always about giving those opportunities to people that 253 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: to us, you know, people that understand what our day 254 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: to day lifestyle is like. And I think it's amazing 255 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,359 Speaker 1: to provide those opportunities to all of us for ownership 256 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: and just also to kind of I've learned a lot 257 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: from you, like just learning from you, and I know, 258 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: just watching how he works, it's like it's like a masterclass. 259 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: And to be able to be a part of that, 260 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: and then, like he said, take that blueprint and do 261 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: it again, and do it again. That's what it's about. 262 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: Providing more opportunities for all of us out there to 263 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: continue to grow and then put us in position to 264 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: provide more opportunities for more people. You gotta have that. 265 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: It's a reason why people are like, man, I ever 266 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: seen Jack Nicholson work in twenty five years, but he's 267 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: sitting on the front row of the Lakers game right 268 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: It's because he owns stake and equity and Batman Yano 269 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: reeves the matrix, you know what I mean. So you 270 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: could go on and on how these guys are able 271 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: to actually be a part of something, but us, we 272 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: always get it up front, you know what I mean. 273 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: And now in this system where everything is streaming and 274 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: they own everything, you really don't get no ip or equity. 275 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: So now you're gonna get paid all the money right now, 276 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: and then you're gonna watch that for the next twenty 277 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: thirty years. Your kid's gonna watch that. So to be 278 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: able to participate like real did and to get out 279 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: or have percentage. I'm sure he didn't invest, but they 280 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: gave him equity in the movie because he came in 281 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: a small budget movie. But this is different, man, Like, 282 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: this is ownership. So when you see Fear this weekend 283 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: in the movie theater and you're right, it looks fantastic. 284 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: Shout out to Chris Duskin, you know the whole VFX 285 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: team that worked on this. When you see that, just 286 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: understand when you buy that ticket, it is actually going 287 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: back to a black production company and back to these 288 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: guys who put their money up and they own that. 289 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: So in five years from now, when you watch Fear, 290 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: it's there. So now we could buy some cars for 291 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Envy's car show. For the car shot, I was gonna ask. 292 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: So when you board during the pandemic, it was like, 293 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: I gotta shoot something. I can't just sit on my ass. 294 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: But what was that That thought process came because we 295 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: were all home doing nothing. Dion was calling everybody. He 296 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: was was on the phone with Charlemagne six am every morning. 297 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: We got to change the world. We're gonna do approach, 298 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: like Dion on the couple Zo. We did great man, 299 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: we were acting, Dean was leading the charge on. It 300 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: wasn't even entertainment stuff. It was politics. Yeah, all of us, 301 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: you and me and Killer Mic and uh it. But 302 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: I think we all just everybody knew something big is 303 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: gonna come out of you know. We just wanted to 304 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: be a part of whatever was going to be on 305 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: the other side that was that was going to be 306 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: financially beneficial or even just culturally beneficial. Uh And I 307 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: think you know, in our own way everybody did a 308 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't make it to the other side. 309 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying that physically as well as mental. A lot 310 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: of people did not make that jump. Y'all show that 311 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: in the movie. Yeah, some people wanted to make it. 312 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: You know, some motherfucker's round them justn't you know, and 313 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: just wouldn't let it happen. What did an I would 314 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: how important it is, like just mentorship, Like who taught you? 315 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: Like you're giving the game to people, but who taught you? 316 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: You know what? I wasn't taught And I think that's 317 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: what really helps me to be who I am today 318 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: because it was so hard for us for seventeen years. 319 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: Every time we went somewhere and somebody tell you know, 320 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: you don't know how to actually do something, so you 321 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: have to learn on your own. I just remember Man 322 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: two three times having a metaphysical death in my life. 323 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: Well I'm like, damn man, Like I thought I was 324 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: doing this right, but I collapsed, and later on in 325 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: life I ended up meaning Robert smith Um who became 326 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: a real mentor to me.

But 413 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: I had a upmore faith that you know, God well 414 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: had the last say so, hey, man, Florida just got 415 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: eighty two millions. What happened with that? Say, he was 416 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: an endorser of the product and get invested in as well, 417 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: some investor and endorser, and he's supposed to get I 418 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: believe allegedly some ship. So I think the amount was 419 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: like thirty two thousand and some shares, but they wand 420 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 1: up awarding him. It became a billion dollar company. I've 421 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: not even heard of that the energy, but the thing 422 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: gives though. This is a little bit different, right because 423 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: Flow actually had an agreement, you know, with the company, 424 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: this company here, I think that whole thing is founded 425 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: on Oh why would we want to do business with 426 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: these guys. Listen to the language they use. Look at 427 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: you know. We don't want to We don't want to 428 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: be associated with that we and that's I say, Well 429 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking that. Well, well, well, well that's your motive, 430 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you wanted our ideas, 431 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: but you didn't want to be associated with us for 432 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: whatever it is. So that's why you didn't come in fairly, 433 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: license legally, uh and partner with us like you would anyone. 434 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: And the thing is, you know that company ain't no angels. 435 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: They still ain't know ain'tels theyself. I'm a firm believer 436 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: that he would at seeing cast the first stone. I'm 437 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: not perfect, but I'm a lot better than I was, 438 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

I just think, man, it's 445 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: it's terrible that you can still do this in America. 446 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, but you can't unless you 447 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: got the means to fight.

Yeah, you know, don't have the finances, 493 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: have retirement. I mean, I think that would be a 494 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: great I guess you have to look at other industries 495 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: to see how they did it, because that's out of 496 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: my spectrum education. I guess you'd have to look at 497 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: like the film industry and see how they did it 498 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: way way way back, because those old artists have nothing right, right, Like, 499 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: they've been used through the system, through the studios of 500 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: nothing and records get sam So they got a way 501 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: for them. They got a way for the fifty year 502 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: hip hop to get a check. Right. So that's crazy, man, 503 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: Like you should you should as smart as you are, 504 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you should dive into that. That. I mean, bro, 505 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: I hear. It takes participation, you know what I mean. 506 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: Everybody gotta be you know, willing to come together. Uh 507 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: and and you know, I see most of the time 508 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: I have people if it ain't our idea. Yeah, you 509 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, if we didn't think of it first, 510 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: like you know, a lot of times people don't really 511 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: want to participate, you know, collectively. But it is a 512 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: phenomenal idea, and it's gonna be a resentment to the 513 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: to the artists who aren't doing well. Then you know, 514 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: why should I work with the artists that is doing well? 515 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: We don't just build it without them? Yeah right, I 516 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: mean you don't get in right, So anyway, that's interesting. 517 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: We just couldn't your dudes for after So it's the 518 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: same thing you pay your dudes yelling and when things happen, 519 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: you get help in chance you get true, we need that. 520 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: We need that right now. Yeah, I'm with it. Yeah, 521 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: we need that. I'm gonna ask you other director because 522 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: I know y'all gotta go do do you do you 523 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: think of the audience when you're making these films? Like 524 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: a black person wouldn't do that, black person wouldn't running 525 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: that room and they're screaming going on, and you know, 526 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's all I think about. I'm I'm actually 527 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: an audience first director, um, which obviously the track regular 528 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: movies made. UM. But yeah, you have to actually put 529 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: up I think That's what makes me a little different 530 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: is that I'm not trying to appease anyone else but 531 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: the audience that I'm making that film for, and also 532 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: grounded it in something that's authentic and real. Um like 533 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: even like fear, like having all these guys, these all 534 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: alpha males, Joseph ka Tip, you know what I mean? 535 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: Terrence Batch, Um, yeah, man, we're trying to like alpha females, 536 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: and alpha females means I'll be seeing all alpha males 537 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: I see to be getting in a whole lot of trouble. 538 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: What is alpha male being? Well, I mean they're they're 539 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: they're leaders. They're they're guys that are in the front 540 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: that normally are leading a situation or their group. If 541 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: if if I didn't know them, and I know you 542 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: got a group of guys you hang around, they would 543 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: be the leaders of that group, you know what I mean. 544 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, I always say, man, if I worried that mcdges, 545 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: I'd be the baddest freeman. But yeah, we want to 546 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: make the movies for the audience. And this weekend, when 547 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: this movie comes out, I think people will have a really, 548 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: really good time watching it. And that's what the first 549 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: priority is We're so excited and it's about that participation 550 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: showing up, supporting, absolutely, watching the movie, tweeting about it, 551 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: talking about it, so that we can spread the word 552 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: and really you know, get some some real numbers out 553 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: there to be able to continue doing What is success? 554 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: What is success for this movie? Like what we didn't 555 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: have to do opening weekend? We already we are, We 556 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: already won. Um, we already won, you know, just movie. 557 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't think we also put COVID, No, we 558 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: didn't put in theaters? Is a huge window, you know, 559 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: this many screens, doing that independently and then having so 560 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: many opportunities for windows after this, right, so after this, 561 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: then there'll be the streaming window. Then there'll be another tier, 562 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: so we'll be able to profit international. So there's a 563 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: lot of upside as long as we all support it 564 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: as well as as well as the you know, the 565 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: learning and the wisdom and the experience is that comes 566 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: we're producing NIXT to someone who's dead it so many 567 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: times before Terrace and that we just like, Amen, So 568 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: what this means? It's great, man, it's great, and this 569 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: is and this is a new this is new for 570 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: me as well in terms of releasing this wide. So 571 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: we've we've put our movies on our own UM and one, 572 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: but this this is a wide release, so we're actually running. 573 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: We've beat studio movies a bunch, but this one's gonna 574 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: do great. Man. Like I said, we're in the system 575 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: right now where you know, you're watching some of these 576 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: mega films made two, three, four million dollars um that 577 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: have fifty million, sixty million in So we know Fear 578 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: gonna come and do that, which means we already beat 579 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: most of these films anyway. But what I love about 580 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: what we're doing with Fear is um which is actually 581 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: very present in this room right now, which is the 582 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: power of reinvention. See part of part of the system 583 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: that we're in right now. As black people, we're scared 584 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,479 Speaker 1: to reinvent ourselves. So the minute that you step out 585 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: of whatever lane you've been running in, everybody always make 586 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: a joke about it. You know, I was talking to 587 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: Tip like his comedy, Like why can't he do comedy? Right? 588 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: Terrence went from hosting to now acting. Look at you 589 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: multi hyphen it acting, hosting, building company owner, you you book, Like, 590 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: we have to get to a place, man, and we're 591 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: not scared to reinvent ourselves or learn something different and 592 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: for fear. For me, it was like, man, let me 593 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: show Tip and Terrence and Joseph and everybody else, myself 594 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: and Rock Sand like really get on the box and 595 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: be like, let me show y'all how this works at 596 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: the highest level. Here's how you can compete and create 597 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers or New Line or Lionsgate. And that's exactly 598 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: what we're doing right now. Two other questions. One break 599 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: down how y'all make money on planes? Right? Because a 600 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: majority of the movie planes I see on the plane, 601 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: But how do you how do they record that? How 602 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: do y'all make money over that? Because the planes, every 603 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: movie's on the plane before you know it gets to 604 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: most of the time when you actually purchased that. So 605 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: how does that work? That's a window, So basically you're 606 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: gonna a movie opens and then it's the same with 607 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: a hotel, So you ever go like it in hotel, Yeah, 608 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: but where the plane is actually paying for it as well. 609 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna license for us. But all those deals that 610 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about in film, those are deals that you 611 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: could only make if you own the IP, right, So 612 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: when you look at these movies you're talking about, for instance, 613 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: Top Gun, right or Avatar. Those movies are making three 614 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: four hundred million dollars here and then they open overseas 615 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: and they're at seven eight nine hundred million dollars to 616 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: three billion dollars. Well, that's only the theatrical experience. Now 617 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: understand that that's what that made. Ends from the theater. 618 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: Now when it goes downstream, what's downstream, planes, hotels, cable, 619 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: first window buys, it'll keep on selling when it gets 620 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: the team. You run down the line, right, and now 621 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: you just resell it again. So it just keeps making 622 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: money over and over again, the same way we're watching 623 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: all these old movies. You know that what's Eddie Murphy 624 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: coming to America? Life? That's all life life, right, So 625 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: you imagine how much money that is. Man, if you're 626 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: a student, you just keep licensing that through system for real. 627 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: Most of the time, know, you know, the ips are 628 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: held under the big studios. So some you know, the 629 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: airlines or whoever is responsible for doing the licenses for 630 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: the airlines would just go to that like a one 631 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: stop shop and go and do a deal with Warner 632 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: Brothers or do a deal with Universal or do a 633 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: deal with Lionsgate and they get all of the library. 634 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. The last time I saw 635 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: you to you was at the Operation Hope for Him. Yeah, 636 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: guy John O'Brian, and you were talking about your development 637 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: that you was complex.
