- Ryan: “So much so that they want us to pitch C4, which is, I guess, what they call it. They only had two requirements. It has to star Amara Creed. And don't make it all long and curdy. Apparently, these executives have the attention span of a squirrel and want something quick they can watch while doom scrolling. They asked if a trailer would work. They said, if that's the best you can do, then sure. So, let's do it. Let's do some trailers.”
- Curtis: “Sneha, I want to know, do you have a trailer prepared?”
- Sneha: “Curt, let's hear what you got.”
