So, did you ever have where you just come to, come to just, you can’t agree on something and how do you work through those issues just if there is some disagreement?
Greg Porper
Of course, if there’s no disagreement between two people, regardless of the relationship, I always question what’s going on. So yes, we disagree all the time. observers would probably say we disagree more than we agree. But that I it’s all constructive. It’s always in the best interest of the story. And we both have that mutual appreciation that if we disagree on something, it’s because we believe that this is what’s best for the story. And we allow ourselves the space to talk through it. And ultimately, you know, there is a lot of kind of going back and forth, when there is an agreement ultimately, in like the case of Larry, you know, one thing that I learned when setting up a business was you can’t go fully 5050. In case when it comes to businesses decisions, because if there’s a true gridlock, then like the project is stuck. And so something like that, john and I talked about in this case, it’s like, all right, I’m going to be the one who’s the day to day like overseeing the LLC and producer and, in addition to being the writer and director and don’t tell I ended up being the full time producer, which is taking up pretty much 95% of this movie has been on the producing side of things, a whole other discussion there. But that being said, there was that understanding that okay, like anything that’s that kind of business-related pertaining to this movie, if there’s a true-true stalemate gridlock that like I had that final say, but ultimately, I would never do anything without consulting, you know, with him. And I think ultimately, it’s hearing each other out and being patient. And then in some cases, it really is like picking your battles because there are times where we’re disagreeing on something. But one of us is so much more passionate than the other. And that passion usually is enough for us to be like, well, you really believe in this moment. Right? Like there’s an edit in the movie that always irks me, I’m not going to say what it is. But that’s something that like john loves and vice versa. And you know, there’s times where just like, you have to, you know, compromise. And you also just have to be able to work through it together. And you can’t be precious to absolutely everything. And I do think like we do find that balance nicely. But there’s definitely there’s definitely disagreements for sure.
