00:00 Yeah, it feels good to be opening the movie at home.
00:02 Bob was here and I think, you know, my feeling was always that Bob enjoyed his time in London
00:08 because he stayed there for a long time and he created one of the greatest albums of all time from here, you know.
00:14 And yeah, he had a lot of fans here and yeah, I think he really enjoyed it here.
00:20 That was the only reason why the movie was made, you know, it was them.
00:26 It's a movie made by Bob's family and they were part of my process from the beginning.
00:32 I auditioned and then I was with them.
00:33 I learned everything I know about Bob through the family and through his friends, you know.
00:37 Even to like, I was with Bob's friends who knew him when he was 13, 14 years old and, you know,
00:43 so I really got, I got to talk to everyone.
00:45 You know, we were trying to find Bob's vulnerability in this movie, what he was like in private,
00:51 what his struggles were, you know, especially at this time, you know, when he created Exodus,
00:55 they all nearly died, you know.
00:57 And so, yeah, I got to do that with a family.
00:59 It was amazing to have them there.
01:00 I think you learn something every time you're on a job, you know.
01:06 With this, I guess I'll understand the lessons more clearly in a few years from now.
01:11 But yeah, it was a ride and a half and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16 It's still sinking in, sinking in.
