Pete I don't think you've written any blog entries about the movie or articles kind of explaining debuting the movie for the institute since it came out.



Pete Quinones 1:19

What I'm waiting to do is the version of it that we put on YouTube has some has some flaws in it, audio level here and there. But it was just one of those things where everything that was happening in the world with the riots and everything we were just like, let's get this out there and see what people think we've only had like 10 people, including yourself, say anything about you know what was in it, and you know, and or audio levels, or maybe a vocal gets clipped somewhere. So what out I was gonna wait until we're prepping it. Now to upload to Amazon and when you upload it to Amazon, it has to be perfect. So that's what we're doing right now we're re recording a couple of the narration parts. And then we're going to send it to a guy who is going to professional audio guy who is going to level everything out the sound is going to be perfect. And then that's what I was gonna start talking about it on the inside.



Scott Horton 2:21
