So was it sort of because of the nature of it being, like, almost preset, like, we have this crew, we we're shooting in Chicago, like, was, was a lot of the budget sort of accounted for right away, where, like, we know we're, this is how much the crew costs? And, and did that simplify the, the budgeting in a way and, like, even the pre-production because you knew that, like, there were certain elements already in place, and then you had, of that budget, then you had, like, whatever extra amount to work with to, like, do all the custom stuff that you would need to do?
9:24
Exact- Good question.
9:25
So yes, that's exactly what it was.
9:27
It was a certain amount of money that...
9:30
So I believe it was, I wanna call it, like, somewhere in the 200 range.
9:34
So I wanna say, I don't know the exact number we had for all of the actual production, but with all of the fees for the producers and all the fees for above-the-line people, um, which was really just the producers, directors.
9:48
After that, the production cost to make the movie sat somewhere between, I wanna say it's probably somewhere around 170 to 150 for the movie.

so can you talk about that prep? Like, what went into s- like, w- if, if there's, you know, obviously so much goes into it, but if you're gonna, like, distill it down to, like, one or two things maybe that you did that really helped ensure that you made your days and you got what you needed, um, in those 12 days.

Yeah, me and – so we have our music video production company called Napalm Rainbow, me and Jimmy Laser, and we basically do everything, all the music videos we do all together.
13:06
So we pass – he's primarily the editor, but we kind of conceptualize everything together.
13:13
And so same with that, and I focus on just the directing, producing side of it all.
13:19
But yeah, it's – a lot of it – look, I got to give a lot of credit to Vinny.
