And, and that really, I mean, you know, I grew up in, you know, a suburb of DC and Takoma Park, which is, you know, about the furthest place away from the film business. So, you know, there was definitely, you know, this, you know, huge interest from me as far as, like, just trying to figure out how they made films. You know, I like, you know, read every article I could find about special effects, and, you know, just behind the scenes stuff, I love to see behind the scenes. And it kind of open up to the idea of like, wow, these people actually make movies, and it got me really interested in at least and how they made movies, especially special effects. And, you know, that we, you know, it was like this all encompassing kind of thing that, you know, not only was it a great movie, and you know, it was, you know, the toys and all the you know, stuff about space, and, you know, God, it just blew my mind. And then, I guess when Star Wars came out, I was like, 888 years old. So, and I guess his my dad's enthusiasm, really, you know, kind of, you know, made me aware of it, at least. You know, he used to love James Bond movies, we, you know, just watching those some of the best childhood memories I have. But just his kind of, you know, love for the movies, and also, and just the excitement of going with him and all that stuff. And he was sometimes he would, you know, I would help translate. But when we came here to this country, he never learned English, so, and he loved going to the movies.

Um, you know, I mean, it really, you know, I've always had an interest in films like my dad, you know, he was, we were, I was born in Cuba too. Now, what made you want to start making movies in the first place? When I was just talking about Joe Menendez, who was on the show a while ago, you know, I'm like, Oh, so you're the other Cuban director. It's it's an absolute thrill to speak to another cubano director doing stuff and, man. Thanks so much for being on the show, man. I'd like to welcome to the show, Eduardo Sanchez.
