I -- sell off.

-- record we the directors producers -- back about.

Got to imagine going all anyway when we were developing the whole project saying it wanted to use the -- guys you can't do that.

And it was like look we don't want stars with heroes.

-- heroes and -- they couldn't they couldn't understand and with that actually was a blessing for us.

Because we ended up financing ourselves with other private equity partners knew what they gave us.

The purity -- process we are able to make a movie without the studio getting in and actually racking it.

And -- it is -- that it was.

If you're right this is an indie film this movies like it's in these Iranian film gone I think the guys in their members they are -- quality care.

When actors got -- you know he's got to get in that I have some person -- not.

These guys are themselves that -- -- -- and really try to do it and really just really encourage -- hey don't do anything just to be yourself.

If it doesn't feel right don't do.

And I think he's really did come across incredibly well on screen but the desert super competent man and I think that because of that.

It really it would -- slot in in a very comfortable fashion of who they are with.

It took.

Four years total two and a half years because we're working.

Within operational cycles of the -- so in between combat deployments -- guys would work with us we're also working with the existing training evolution -- So we didn't redirect any assets towards making of this film.

So and we were just continuing work on cycles like that.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- We're really effect we created an authentic action -- apart and authentic and that way it's going to the real locations where things are going down so we really -- the audience around the world to the location that showcase all.

She's in the parking lot of -- and -- Green screen importantly shop.

It's one of the things on this film -- really separates it from a lot of -- the last decade you know having CG itself.

This is.

We're trying to bring back choir sit in the -- in the eighty's and ninety's he's really explosive action movies that are all in camera.

And got away from that we've gone to this fantastical world -- anything's -- you do anything like.

Knowledge of what happened of the jeopardy what do you know like when somebody gets shot they die they don't like bounce back and keep going it's it's kind of who wanted to like this is these guys are real what they do as real consequences and wanted to -- to that.

We also wanted to bring this incredible action on her back to theater -- You know with active valid if it would finally accomplish that.
