I went up to Canada where we sold the movie, and I worked for somebody else.
So when I went up to Canada, I traveled with the movie as an emissary,
same way I would in the past, whereas in the States this time around,
every dime we made or wasn't spent was coming out of our pockets.
So we played it as ours.
Above, it was theirs.
And it was weird.
I did Bristle once or twice just being, I won't call it owned,
but I had to do it their way, not my way.
We had utter freedom with this flick, doing it our way down here,
and it proved smart, financially sensible, inspiring,
created more value for something that might not have had that same value
coming out the gate without any undue attention, different attention.
So for us, I don't know, it was kind of exciting.
Well, it's such a bold move because it really is the right time,
but someone has to jump in and say this is the right time.
Someone has to jump in and say, I have such a connection with social media,
and essentially a gigantic amount of my supporters and fans can find me.
They know what I'm doing, and they're aware.
They're tuned into it on a regular basis.
