Thank you sir we -- premiere -- I gotta tell you -- blew me away it's powerful it's emotional it really is we just saw a picture one.

Such realistic -- missions.

Is that what you wanted to show the American people.

Yeah absolutely -- once we connected with this community and really understood the depth to the -- how hard these guys sacrifice the last ten years.

We felt like the only way to pay tribute was to make a real movie.

So this movie is truly authentic and if that's the real deal.

It's got an email you know how did -- start.

You know it started the other -- came to us -- -- like we wanted to explore the possibilities of them.

You know what what what what would take you know take a look inside their community really look like -- You know we just -- we met them there was just no better way to really tell their story that he's the real guy -- me.

It's really Hollywood is really misrepresent in this community for so long we just felt obligated to really get the record straight and this community really is.

Anti by the community.

Mike you depict the home front and what's -- so emotionally searing.

The families the wives what they endure when their loved ones their husbands are out on these incredibly dangerous missions.

Yeah absolute -- that was one of the most important things of this story for us was a connect with the wives and their families.

I mean these are some of the most amazing women we've never met and truly the real heroes are the women in the family's different since the -- our film chief.

He just got back from eleven month deployment to Afghanistan his wife was home schooling five kids and she was handle him just an amazing her -- woman so we had to show that.

It's got giving most of us really you know realize that -- that's what.

Our brave military families go through.

Yeah you I think there's you know a lot of people that go unrecognized and you know one of them is definitely the women and what they do.

And the sacrifices they make -- I think it's really important in today's society that.

People really recognize those that really you know sacrifice their livelihood for us in the you know it's not only the -- down arrangement as the women in the families do.

And -- one of the most gripping scenes one of the Navy SEALs.

As a grenade is thrown.

He jumps on it with his body it explodes under -- the blood just starts pulling out he does that to save this comrades.

That really happened.

We have -- really an important thing about this film is everything you see happened just -- on this enormous challenges she'll on the battlefield in the last ten years.

And their stories that you wouldn't believe -- -- she knew they were true.

And the heroes and these acts of valor were really important -- mean.

Who would do that you know who are capable of for their Brothers these men would end.

I think that concept about our needs to get passed on -- the American public so people think about being her -- in their daily lives.

And Scott finally annual Hollywood -- wanna make this film when this first came up big asset AF finance it yourself.

Yeah Allen got me thinking about you know we -- trying to just Hollywood that we didn't have stars -- -- we had heroes -- though.

The -- if they got -- -- a -- ball we yeah we you know it really wasn't independent film on our behalf and we really enjoy that process and actually it did turn out for the better.

While Scott while Mike -- McCoy had the movie opens that this coming week it is act of valor.
