01:03We made this movie independently.

01:16Focus Universal.
01:17I also want to thank my parents who are here tonight,
01:19and my sisters,
01:21they've supported me this whole way.
01:23And especially my wife, Erin,
01:24who worked on the film,
01:25but she didn't want to get up here.
01:27But she knows that I would not be here without her.
01:30And we welcomed the child, a son, in October,
