WEBVTT 00:00:04.939 --> 00:00:07.900 Vampire Zombies from Space. I have the co -writer, 00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.199 co -producer, and he also has a little cameo 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:16.160 in his own film, Alex Forman. Wow, amazing. I 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.800 loved, loved this show. I was so happy to see 00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.280 it. Oh, well that's fantastic to hear. We had 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.440 such a fun time making it, so we are just really 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:26.940 happy to share it with the world at this point. 00:00:27.129 --> 00:00:30.649 Okay, so you and your writing partner have been 00:00:30.649 --> 00:00:34.130 working together for how long? Well, I met Jacob 00:00:34.130 --> 00:00:37.049 Scrippa in high school and we were both kind 00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:39.670 of the film guys at like our difference respective 00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:42.250 grade schools. So once we met in high school, 00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:44.969 we kind of decided to start kind of collaborating 00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:49.049 there and then just through university and up 00:00:49.049 --> 00:00:51.990 until we're in our 30s now. So yeah, it's been 00:00:51.990 --> 00:00:55.179 quite a while. Me and Jacob had the original 00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:57.740 scripts that we brought to Mike Stasco who helped 00:00:57.740 --> 00:00:59.920 us with some additional writing and then he was 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.039 the director. And together we made Vampire Zombies 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.239 from space. I can't say it enough. I really enjoyed 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.019 it. I went in there because I know you and I'm 00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:12.120 like okay we got to be supportive. But it was 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.659 a blast. I like the old feel of like Dawn of 00:01:15.659 --> 00:01:18.579 the Dead and it was great. A little campiness 00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:22.569 to it. It was perfect. made you go in that direction? 00:01:23.569 --> 00:01:27.069 Well, Jacob and I, we love just writing different 00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:30.290 things, so we have so many scripts of so many 00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:33.409 different topics. But we just like to find areas 00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:35.569 where you can really dig in and just really drill 00:01:35.569 --> 00:01:39.870 out some great comedy. And the 1950s horror movie, 00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:44.280 the really... kind of junky special effects and 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.359 like can't be acting. It seemed like the perfect 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.099 playground for us. So that really drew us to 00:01:50.099 --> 00:01:52.840 the genre. And then from there we decided to 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.900 do like, okay, do we do like vampires and werewolves 00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:59.620 and all that kind of stuff. So that's why it's 00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:01.500 Vampire Zombies from Space. It's kind of like 00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.500 the ultimate 1950s horror movie, like to the 00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:09.520 extreme. And I think that's why we kind of gravitated 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.449 toward that genre. Is this the first horror -type 00:02:12.449 --> 00:02:15.430 project that you've worked on? It's not the first, 00:02:15.430 --> 00:02:18.610 like, horror project that I've done myself. Jacob 00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:21.030 and I have done a lot of short films, and some 00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:25.030 people describe them as nightmares. So we don't 00:02:25.030 --> 00:02:27.389 really think about it in terms of genre when 00:02:27.389 --> 00:02:29.530 we're writing different things, but, yeah, a 00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:32.580 lot of the times we just end up... gravitating 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:35.560 towards the horror genre because I think horror 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.539 and comedy are very similar in a lot of ways. 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.599 Like you're eliciting a strong reaction from 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.919 the audience in both. With horror, if you get 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.939 a scream, you know you did a good job. With comedy, 00:02:45.060 --> 00:02:47.199 if you get a big laugh, you know you did a good 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.080 job. And maybe that's why we're always kind of 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.860 accidentally doing horror when we're always trying 00:02:54.860 --> 00:02:57.229 to focus on the comedy. And this movie, you get 00:02:57.229 --> 00:03:01.030 both. I mean, there was a few, ah, and then laughing 00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:03.810 at the same time. Like, it was a blast. There's 00:03:03.810 --> 00:03:06.750 some gnarly special effects. Oh, yeah. Like, 00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:09.789 to the point where I wouldn't watch it. If I 00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:11.770 didn't make the movie, like, there's some stuff 00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:14.009 that would make me squeamish. Perfectly done 00:03:14.009 --> 00:03:18.389 in every way. Now, it is making the rounds of 00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:20.770 the film festivals. It's amazing, yeah. You've 00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:23.289 been all over the world. The movie's been all 00:03:23.289 --> 00:03:25.689 over the world. Honestly, I wish I could just 00:03:25.689 --> 00:03:28.090 like tell you the entire list of everywhere that 00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:30.210 we've played. There's too many. Yeah, and we're 00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:32.909 so thankful for that. Like, we're playing, we 00:03:32.909 --> 00:03:35.030 played so many festivals in the fall of last 00:03:35.030 --> 00:03:38.849 year, starting in October 2024, and even like 00:03:38.849 --> 00:03:41.330 next week we've got, or I don't know when this 00:03:41.330 --> 00:03:43.770 podcast comes out. Oh, this is coming out for 00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:47.229 that. Yes, okay, so March 28th we'll play at 00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:49.629 the Canadian Film Festival in Toronto, really 00:03:49.629 --> 00:03:52.110 looking forward to that one. But we're playing 00:03:52.110 --> 00:03:56.659 in Europe, across Canada, We're playing in the 00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:59.819 States later on next month. And I don't know 00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:01.879 when the train's gonna stop. We just kind of 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.060 keep getting accepted to festivals and we'll 00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:07.710 just keep going as long as they let us in. And 00:04:07.710 --> 00:04:10.750 you guys have won some festivals. We have. Yeah, 00:04:10.750 --> 00:04:13.750 yeah. We've got a couple of awards for like best 00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:16.589 audience choice and like best screenplay, best 00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:19.629 director. If you check out our social media, 00:04:19.670 --> 00:04:22.370 you'll see all of that on our Instagram page. 00:04:22.810 --> 00:04:26.290 But yeah, we're super proud of what we put together. 00:04:26.569 --> 00:04:28.970 You guys had some familiar faces in there as 00:04:28.970 --> 00:04:32.009 well. We did. Yeah, yeah. Right from the start, 00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:33.829 we knew that we wanted to have some kind of star 00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:36.959 power in this. We were so lucky to feature a 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.819 bunch of fantastic local actors and actresses 00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:42.319 from Windsor and Toronto. There's so much amazing 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.959 talent in the city. But we were also able to 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.259 reach out and get some, I don't know if you'd 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:51.120 call them horror icons, but definitely some more 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.139 well -known names in the horror community, especially 00:04:53.139 --> 00:04:56.060 the 1950s horror community. Judith O'Day was 00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:58.139 in the film. She was the star of Night of the 00:04:58.139 --> 00:05:01.600 Living Dead. The original Scream Queen is what 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.579 they call her. Actually, when she was on set, 00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:05.720 she said that she preferred to be called the 00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:08.569 Gel Queen. instead of Screen Queen. I thought 00:05:08.569 --> 00:05:11.990 that was kind of fun. But we had her, David Liebherhart, 00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:14.629 he's from Tim and Eric. So if you're a Tim and 00:05:14.629 --> 00:05:17.029 Eric fan, you'll for sure be familiar with him. 00:05:17.470 --> 00:05:19.990 And just a couple other roles from actors that 00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:22.269 you might have seen. We have one actor, he was 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:26.110 in The Saw, Saw IV, I believe. And Lloyd Kaufman 00:05:26.110 --> 00:05:30.129 from Troma Entertainment. I'm not huge into Troma 00:05:30.129 --> 00:05:32.230 myself. I haven't seen a lot of those old movies, 00:05:32.230 --> 00:05:35.370 but I know there's a lot of horror diehards who, 00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.319 they love the Troma. and if you ever check Lloyd's 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.300 IMDB, his movie database page, he's got like 00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:46.300 600 credits. He's such a lover of smaller films. 00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:48.860 And you were in it? I was in it, yeah. I had 00:05:48.860 --> 00:05:51.800 a little role. When it came to me and Jacob and 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.139 Mike too, Mike has a very small part in the movie, 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.519 we kinda just got down to the scheduling at the 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.160 end and we were like, okay, since we're here 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.220 every day, we can kind of play around with the 00:06:03.220 --> 00:06:06.379 schedule for these specific roles. And that's 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:08.540 how we ended up playing the greaser teenager 00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:12.639 characters, me and Jacob. You've done a lot of 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.860 short films and a TV show, a few episodes. How 00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:19.139 hard was it to write a full length? Well, it's 00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:22.819 definitely a lot harder. Just the pure length 00:06:22.819 --> 00:06:26.060 of it, and especially the way you have to just 00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:28.959 make the story... Kind of keep progressing and 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.959 just building the stakes more and more when you're 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.620 doing like a four minute five minute sketch You 00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.139 pretty much have like one core idea of like this 00:06:36.139 --> 00:06:38.139 is what I want to have the joke This is the main 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:39.980 thing and then you just figure out a way to like 00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:42.439 tell that one joke in the best way But with the 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.220 movie you're almost like coming up with like 00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:47.480 40 different little sketch scenes that you're 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:49.319 stitching together and you have to have the narrative 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.100 on top of it and you have to have the characters 00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:54.439 that you're supposed to root for and want to 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.759 follow and care if they die or live and yeah, 00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:00.189 just putting all that together. It's something 00:07:00.189 --> 00:07:02.449 that me and Jacob never really had a whole lot 00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:04.550 of experience with until the point where we started 00:07:04.550 --> 00:07:07.029 working with Mike. And working with Mike has 00:07:07.029 --> 00:07:09.769 been so great because this is like his, I want 00:07:09.769 --> 00:07:12.329 to say it's his sixth film that he's done. He's 00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:14.089 been making movies in Windsor for a long time, 00:07:14.189 --> 00:07:18.790 him and Ted Bezer. But he really helped us shape 00:07:18.790 --> 00:07:24.259 the more narrative side of the movie. So when 00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:26.600 it comes to making sure that we have callbacks 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.399 like to a certain plot element in the first act 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.579 that comes back in the third act. and trying 00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:36.439 to really keep the scripts very economical as 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.680 far as characters and roles. I know when the 00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.000 script first started, me and Jacob had 10 different 00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.100 cop characters that each had one line throughout 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.879 the entire movie. But now we only have, I want 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.899 to say, two cops who have any lines. So things 00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:53.899 like that really helped us shape the script into 00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:58.079 a real movie, I guess you could say. Okay, since 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.819 Vampire Zombies from Space has only been in film 00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:05.199 festivals and it hasn't been released as a motion 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.339 picture yet. What is the plot? So we hope that 00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:10.079 the title kind of sells itself a little bit, 00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:12.579 Vampire Zombies from Space. Hopefully you know 00:08:12.579 --> 00:08:14.500 what you're getting into with that title. You 00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:18.160 know you're coming into just a silly comedy about 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.519 the 1950s horror movies and it's going to be 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:22.399 just kind of wacky, like not take itself too 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.060 seriously. So the plot is very, very simple. 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:29.319 It's just vampire zombies from space, of course, 00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:32.629 come invade this little small town, Marlow, and 00:08:32.629 --> 00:08:34.370 there's a little band of characters, a couple 00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:36.769 cops, there's a young woman and a greaser, they 00:08:36.769 --> 00:08:39.929 get together and they try to stop the evil invasion 00:08:39.929 --> 00:08:43.149 from Dracula. And this was all done in black 00:08:43.149 --> 00:08:46.679 and white, which was... Awesome. And it was recorded 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.259 in Windsor? Yeah, I would say like 99 percent 00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.019 in Windsor. There was a couple like pick up things 00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:55.919 that we did. But yeah, it was all local. We had 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.600 local actors, local craft services, local crew, 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.860 which was fantastic. And I just want to touch 00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:04.120 quickly on the black and white. That was such 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.320 a help to the production of the film, because 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.779 you get you get you get to get away with so much. 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.620 with the black and white. Like for example, my 00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:16.799 favorite trivia fact is a lot of the blood in 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.659 the movie, it's actually chocolate syrup. I never 00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:22.379 even would have thought of stuff like that. But 00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:24.559 it's great because like fake Hollywood blood, 00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.539 like it's pretty expensive and it looks great 00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:28.679 when you're in color, like you almost need that 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.779 stuff. But in black and white, the colors really 00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:34.779 change. And that was a big deal for our costumes, 00:09:34.899 --> 00:09:37.379 too. We had to make sure that those would all 00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:39.720 look good in black and white. But for the blood, 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.200 you would just use chocolate syrup, and it looks 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.639 exactly like blood. And I'll tell you, it's a 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.940 lot cheaper. And if you're an actor who, like, 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:48.659 you get, I don't know, punched in the face and 00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:50.000 you have to spit some blood out of your mouth, 00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:52.519 chocolate syrup tastes much better. Oh, I can 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.710 imagine. Than the other stuff. Yeah, it would 00:09:54.710 --> 00:09:57.750 be really interesting to figure out the costumes. 00:09:57.909 --> 00:10:01.049 Do you have to really match everything or it 00:10:01.049 --> 00:10:03.570 can be totally all over the place? Yeah, the 00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:07.149 thing with the colors is you'd have to... I'm 00:10:07.149 --> 00:10:08.970 not the expert on it. So you'd have to look online 00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:11.409 to see exactly how each color translates to black 00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:13.529 and white But basically a lot of colors just 00:10:13.529 --> 00:10:15.730 kind of wash out when it's in black and white 00:10:15.730 --> 00:10:18.490 So what you do for the costumes is you actually 00:10:18.490 --> 00:10:21.509 focus on texture more than color Because that 00:10:21.509 --> 00:10:23.950 helps the black and white like you can pick that 00:10:23.950 --> 00:10:26.549 up on the camera a little bit easier We had a 00:10:26.549 --> 00:10:28.269 costume designer Emily. She was really great 00:10:28.269 --> 00:10:30.110 at picking out the best outfits and choosing 00:10:30.110 --> 00:10:34.809 the good colors for each of our actors and I 00:10:34.809 --> 00:10:38.250 think it's a beautiful film really looks great 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:40.570 at the end of the day. That's exactly what me 00:10:40.570 --> 00:10:43.190 and Jacob were hoping for as far as the black 00:10:43.190 --> 00:10:45.830 and white aesthetic and the look of the whole 00:10:45.830 --> 00:10:49.250 thing. Super happy with how that ended up. It 00:10:49.250 --> 00:10:52.690 really was a perfect old -time campy horror show. 00:10:52.769 --> 00:10:55.509 We want it to be authentic. It was. Is it going 00:10:55.509 --> 00:10:57.610 to be released? No, I don't think we're ever 00:10:57.610 --> 00:11:01.009 gonna show anyone. No, we're gonna come out with 00:11:01.009 --> 00:11:04.710 it. Is it ever going to be released past the 00:11:04.710 --> 00:11:07.450 film festival? Absolutely. I wish I had more 00:11:07.450 --> 00:11:10.759 to say. There's so much unknown right now. But 00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.519 what I will say is you could probably expect 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.700 it either sometime this year or next year. It's 00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:19.200 probably a decent bet. Because it needs to be 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.960 seen by everybody because it's so much fun. Are 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:23.799 we going to get to see it back in Windsor again? 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.340 Yeah, I'm sure we'll do some kind of like local 00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:29.879 premiere and maybe even like a little small run 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.039 at like one of the local theaters too. So yeah, 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.960 we definitely want to we want Windsor to be able 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.799 to see this movie the first out of anybody. That's 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.440 great. Are you guys doing anything else? Like 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:44.860 do you have any other works going right now? 00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:47.559 Well, that's the life of like the filmmaker. 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.500 You always have a bunch of like scripts kind 00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.840 of cooking and you never really know exactly 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.460 what's going to be like the next big thing that 00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:57.019 you get to work on. But yeah, absolutely. Me 00:11:57.019 --> 00:12:00.860 and Jacob have a couple buns in the oven. Just. 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.840 seeing where we can make some different things. 00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.519 We have a short that we're planning on shooting 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.200 next month for a film festival in the summer. 00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:12.940 And yeah, we just kind of keep making things. 00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:16.100 Now, is that for the 48 -hour flick fest? No, 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.700 no, we did that last year. Oh, yeah, you can't 00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:22.179 plan that. No, you can't plan that one. And that's 00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:24.139 a really, really fun festival. Yeah, we answered 00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.399 last year at the Windsor Film Festival. didn't 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.980 do much as far as awards, but we were happy with 00:12:30.980 --> 00:12:33.879 - That's hard! It's pretty hard. We were happy 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.860 with our little concept, and I think looking 00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:39.000 back at the film, we're gonna look back and really 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.409 enjoy watching it. It was called Bed Bomb. Bed 00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:44.590 bomb? Yeah, yeah. Well, like, they gave us the 00:12:44.590 --> 00:12:47.509 criteria. You had to have a mattress salesman 00:12:47.509 --> 00:12:49.889 in your movie. And we're like, how do we have 00:12:49.889 --> 00:12:52.990 a mattress salesman in the 48 -hour movie? So 00:12:52.990 --> 00:12:54.710 we figured, you know what? What if we do a twist 00:12:54.710 --> 00:12:56.809 and we'll do something about a mattress itself? 00:12:58.110 --> 00:13:01.330 And we call bed bomb, we call it speed on a mattress. 00:13:01.830 --> 00:13:03.809 So it's like a guy, he, like, he rips his mattress 00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:06.809 tag out and then his bed becomes a bomb. that 00:13:06.809 --> 00:13:09.710 he can't leave the bed. And I won't spoil the 00:13:09.710 --> 00:13:13.070 ending. Obviously there are people in Windsor, 00:13:13.190 --> 00:13:15.690 Essex County that have never heard of the 48 00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:19.070 Hour Flick Fest or even The World. What is that? 00:13:19.289 --> 00:13:22.190 It's great. It's a 48 hour film competition. 00:13:22.509 --> 00:13:24.809 So they do those, I want to say a lot of different 00:13:24.809 --> 00:13:27.509 film festivals you'll find them at. But essentially 00:13:27.509 --> 00:13:31.230 all it is is you get 48 hours to write, shoot, 00:13:31.389 --> 00:13:35.669 direct, edit, everything to create a film. how 00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:37.850 it works is like Friday night at six o 'clock, 00:13:37.970 --> 00:13:40.029 you'll be given certain elements that you have 00:13:40.029 --> 00:13:42.470 to put in your film. And then you have 48 hours 00:13:42.470 --> 00:13:46.129 starting from then to do everything. So 48 hours 00:13:46.129 --> 00:13:47.769 from the start, you have to submit a finished 00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:50.990 film, just like uploaded and send like the link 00:13:50.990 --> 00:13:55.830 over. And making a movie in 48 hours, it sounds 00:13:55.830 --> 00:13:59.549 like it could be doable, but it is very difficult. 00:13:59.809 --> 00:14:02.870 There's no sleeping. No, no, you're lucky if 00:14:02.870 --> 00:14:04.789 you can sleep the first night. We have a pretty 00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:06.850 good routine now, me and Jacob. We've entered 00:14:06.850 --> 00:14:09.470 the competition, I wanna say, 11 or so times. 00:14:10.389 --> 00:14:12.409 And usually Saturday night, you can expect to 00:14:12.409 --> 00:14:14.070 sleep a little bit if you can come up with a 00:14:14.070 --> 00:14:16.950 solid idea. There are definitely some years where 00:14:16.950 --> 00:14:18.809 we're banging our heads against the wall at 3 00:14:18.809 --> 00:14:20.929 a .m. and we're just kinda like, all right, I 00:14:20.929 --> 00:14:23.929 guess this is the idea. And then yeah, the Saturday 00:14:23.929 --> 00:14:27.289 night, you do not sleep whatsoever. No, I couldn't 00:14:27.289 --> 00:14:30.509 imagine doing it. I know my husband, John, had... 00:14:30.350 --> 00:14:31.669 I've done it a few times and I've seen them. 00:14:31.669 --> 00:14:33.409 He did a really good one, yeah. He did like a 00:14:33.409 --> 00:14:36.789 cupcake one, I remember. Cupcake continuum. Yeah, 00:14:36.909 --> 00:14:40.179 yeah. It was really cute. I wish... I wish I 00:14:40.179 --> 00:14:43.100 would have been around to see them make it, but 00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:45.340 I'm kind of also glad I didn't because it would 00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:47.480 have been way too stressful for me. Hey, there's 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.059 always this year, Tracy. We're too old for that. 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:53.120 We're leaving that for you guys. So you're going 00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.519 to be joining it again? We'll see. It kind of 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.080 depends. Jacob does some work out of the country. 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.139 So if he's in the area during the festival, we 00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:04.419 usually do it. I'll say maybe on that. Fingers 00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:07.049 crossed. Yeah, yeah. This is awesome. I'm so 00:15:07.049 --> 00:15:09.250 glad that you were able to stop by Alex. I really 00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:11.690 do appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely. This was 00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:15.830 super cool. Why Qgenia in bloom? Well, again, 00:15:16.429 --> 00:15:19.450 you guys have to keep your eyes out for vampire 00:15:19.450 --> 00:15:23.129 zombies from space because it really is a little 00:15:23.129 --> 00:15:26.789 gem and it is a pride in the Windsor -Essex County 00:15:26.789 --> 00:15:31.519 area. Everybody was so happy to see it and. It 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:34.639 was just great. And congratulations on you guys 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.620 for doing so well at the festival. Yes, thank 00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:40.840 you. That Windsor premiere was more than anyone 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.240 of us could have asked for. It was so incredible. 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.679 So thrilled to do that. It was great. And again, 00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.519 my name is Tracy Martins. I want to thank you 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.220 for joining me for another episode of YQG & Bloom. 00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.620 You all have a great day.
