I appreciate you watching, but since you might be taking time away from your passion project,

and the theme of the movie is to spend your time on this earth wisely, I just hope you have

enough time in your schedule to watch today's episode. Howdy. I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the

Q&A. My agenda is simple. Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth insights into the creative

process of storytelling. Folks, we have an amazing episode for you today, but it's a short one.

You know, when the rollout of Seoul was unclear, they did a September press day when

release it. So I've been sitting on this for a while. And I wanted to post it, you know,

right in the new year after everybody had a chance to watch it. But interestingly, when I did

this interview, I had only seen 30 minutes of the movie, the first 30 minutes. That's where they

stopped us, kind of like a cliffhanger for journalists. And so the only story points that we would discuss in here are about the first 30 minutes

of the movie.

But because of that and because there was a chance that this was going to come out before

the movie even came out, I leaned into process pretty heavily.

And, you know, background of course on the folks as well.

So we have a great lineup for you today. We of, of course, on the on the folks as well. So we have a

great lineup for you today. We talked to the story team in the first segment. So that includes

Kristen Lester, the story supervisor, Michael Yates, the story artist, and Afton Corbin, a story artist.

And then we went into a second session for our second round of interviews.
