00:00We're proud of all the people that have worked on these films, you know, in front of and

00:10behind the camera.

00:11I mean, we've had such extraordinary relationships with such talented people, directors, writers,

00:17actors, technicians, craftspeople.

00:20From all over the world, too, you know, so it's been a great adventure for us.

00:26It came together by joining a boy band and living an interesting life, and messing up

01:19who are aware of Cannes and, you know, the business.

01:23It's general audiences who are really appreciating it, which is incredible, because I never thought,

01:30you know, this movie was supposed to be a throwback to dramedies that we're no longer

01:35seeing in the theaters.

01:37And so the fact that people are going to the theater to see it instead of, you know, besides

01:42seeing just their superhero movies or whatever, their genre, they're seeing something like

01:46this, it means everything.
