00:00You know, I can't you know, I can't question what is it like being here tonight in person on a red carpet

00:05Being able to chat with people and you know, be recognized for your work

00:09I you know, I would think we were just really excited to get all dressed up

00:13And see all these beautiful people making all this beautiful television and film work that we've gotten to like

00:17We were sitting at home the last two years watching it all

00:20But we haven't gotten to like see people and appreciate it and tell them how brilliant they are in person and and so

00:26I think we just wanted to dress like two fly mother and and come here and do just that

00:31Also good Lord bird, which we were both in is also here. So we're running to Ethan and Joshua and

00:37It's just been wonderful. Yeah, it's been wild to like, you know

00:42Normally outside of pandemic times like you have a few times a year where you see your friends who are also making things

00:47And you get to like tell them how much you appreciate everything that they do, but we haven't had that

00:52So it's really it's already been overwhelming to like see everybody

00:56Now the pandemic I feel like has really informed a lot of how you know

01:02Actors have been playing their characters maybe prior than before they they didn't you know

01:08What is understanding of?

01:10What they could bring to their art until this break?

01:13Do you guys feel that way at all with any of the work that you're doing right now or you know the work?

01:20I would just say that I think what the pandemic does because the reality is is getting on a set with a bunch of people is risking your health

01:26Is that I think it it emboldens artists to tell stories that matter that really are exciting to them and important to their core?

01:32Otherwise, it's not worth it

01:33You know, we have we have 270 plus people on our on our staff were tested every day

01:39It's it's a challenge to say the least and so it makes us be even that much more

01:45Intentional about everything that we do and make it is dangerous and expensive. So you want to make sure it's worth it

01:51Yeah, and to meet question for you
