I mean, one thing that you see a lot with horror is like... it's a springboard for actors, right? And within your film, right, you've given some kind of new people opportunities to kind of, you know, shine, right? So with this casting process, what were you kind of thinking? Because, you know, obviously you've got some horror, you know, glitterati in here, right? So when you're writing, did you kind of get a vision of what these characters look like? Were you just doing a casting calls and you're just like, no, this person is, they just jump out, right? Their portrayal man that's the person like how did you kind of key into the cast and then get some of these heavyweights involved

i i didn't want to get character actors and have them play a character i wanted to get actors that felt like those people because i i had the i I had the personality of the characters firmly set in my mind.

I had a bit of a vision of what their style was like, but I didn't have a vision of what the color or nationality or anything that they were.

I just pictured the type of people that they are and their personalities.

And then when I approached the casting process, that was the most important part for me.

Because I knew that I was going to have too low of a budget so the main thing that i wanted to get right was a cast to sell the script i wanted that i wanted the cast to to make that script come to life yeah so what i what i did in the casting process is i didn't care what accents they had what color they were or anything i just looked for the people who fit the personality of that character the most And the ones that in that in that little audition tape, then they tapped into what that character was all about.

And if I felt that while I was in the audition, then I picked that person.

So, like, did you find a lot of crossover from music to film? Like, was it a useful, you know, foundation?
