Larry BenjaminGUEST
So those are disparate in terms of, like, genres, but more similar than you might think.

Larry BenjaminGUEST

Matt touched on it before, but I want to talk a little bit about the sausage making on that.

Larry BenjaminGUEST

Larry BenjaminGUEST
It was such a great collaborator and really was in sync with Katie and and had, you know, really her sensibilities and is such a great filmmaker.
