00:00 John, football question. How much are you looking forward to your prime series and what led to you wanting to do something, do a feature like that?
00:09 Yeah, so we actually started, me and Connor Barwin in a local film company started documenting me two years ago and the idea was, you know, I think it was going to be a documentary on transitioning out of football and two years ago.
00:30 So, you know, I've always, you know, it's something that obviously I've talked a lot about. I've seen a lot of guys go through it and every documentary up to this point on that has always been kind of retroactive.
00:42 You know, what happened after the fact and trying to put the pieces together. Looking back, I thought it might be fun to go through that organically and to see what it's like to transition out of the NFL from a health perspective, financial perspective, touch on stories, things like that.
00:59 And to just go through that on film and started that two years ago. We've been filming the last couple of years and last year we had enough footage and whether I was going to retire or not at the end of the season.
01:11 The company, the couple that have been helping us put this together, Donna Sheena, were like, you know, I think we have a film here.
01:20 If you want to make a film just now, whether you retire or not. And at that point, I hadn't really made a decision. So, you know, we ended up having a good story on kind of what it's like to go through an NFL season.
01:34 All the different narratives that are happening from the fans, from the media, from your coaches. You kind of get a good glimpse of what it's like to be in the NFL from a lot of different perspectives.
