00:00And Stephanie, what was it like for you, you know, as I was telling you backstage, getting Dochi, you know, you've been on her since the beginning, but Dochi, Nissan Altima, you know, that track really kicked off at the end of last year and, you know, she was nominated for Grammys, but how quickly could you get that track and put this soundtrack together for the film?
00:22The finishing of the film was also a very tight timeline, particularly for a feature. I think it was just a few short months that we had to, like, license all the music, land the creative, but because of our ecosystem, we were coming in with a relationship with Lawrence.
00:45We had read the script, you know, years before we were familiar, so we were ready, and we kind of knew how we wanted the music to enhance the story.
00:56We knew that we wanted it to be a mix of old and new, and in doing that, we would have, like, an evergreen soundtrack and really elevate this to be, like, an iconic forever movie, and I think we accomplished that.
01:13And, you know, suggesting things like Dochi is, we similarly, we love music, we're fans, we consume, we know, we pride ourselves in, like, really making suggestions that we think are great, and Issa is the pinnacle of great taste in music, so we have a very high standard that we hold ourselves to.
01:35And we had placed Dochi, her first placement in Pea Valley years ago, and we'd been following her, and we knew she was going to hit, but that kind of timing, you only hope for, and we were really lucky that there was such synchronicity there.
01:52That's right.
