and, you know, "he's an icon and that's just a picture. and i finally did the work in my head to go, "no, share it with your people you work with." so i sent it to my company and to my manager, rick, and -- and they were like, "this is a a great idea." and then rick manages martin scorsese. and we worked together on "wolf of wall street" and he said, "you know who would love this is martin scorsese." and my partner, matt, and i were like, "yeah, for sure that sounds great.
