And, and that, that's really important, like, I mean, what you're doing there is you're working around everybody's schedule as well, and that's why it's taking [coughs] three months to, to do the shoot, you know? So that, that's really difficult, but, um, it's, it's a credit to everybody to, to stick with it as well.
I have to say the cinematography's excellent in this, the sound, and I'm a huge believer in get the right people to do the sound on it.
There's no point in going to all of this trouble to make a fantastic film if the sound is just so poor.
I, I, I do stress that an awful lot when you're- You know, when you're making films is if you've got any sort of budget, you know, make sure that you look after the sound guy because, ah, when you're submitting your film to the film festival, you, you want to be in as many fest- festivals as you can.
So you gotta make a really good first impression.
Your film makes a very good first impression anyways.
As soon as you open it on Freeway, it's very catchy.
Your poster's really cool.
It's a really cool p- poster.
The trailer, you saw, saw yourself, I mean, that's something you see in the cinema.
You know, that's a cinematic trailer.
It stands up there with, you know, Love Actually and, you know, g- it's, it's up there with all the best, so it's, it's already catchy.

Your, your, um, your synopsis is very good.
Your director statement's very good.
The bio's very good.
Your reviews on, on the, on the film is very good.
It ticks all the boxes.
So what happens is when you send a film into a film festival, and you can imagine hundreds, hundreds of feature films and short films coming in, and you have a panel going through them one by one, it can b- become quite monotonous.
And then you got this really catchy one that catches your eye straight away.
It's got all the information you need straight to your hand.
A panelist and a judge will...
You want the panel to drop everything and watch your film straight away, and that's what happened with your film.
The panel just started to drop everything and watched your film straight away because I knew, because I was getting the WhatsApps coming into me telling me, "Dave, have you seen this film yet? Have you looked at it?" So that's great.
Yeah.
