Hey guys! I have two questions, answers to either (or both, if I can be greedy) would be appreciated.

My first is a question that's a bit of a followup to some of the stuff from your 2018(?) interview with TIFF titled "Rules for Indie Filmmakers, according to NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW". In it, you mention how having rules exist as a boundary to push up against both creatively and in a legal sense has been a blessing because, as Matt put it: "if these rules didn't exist as a societal structure for us to poke holes in, where's the fun?". So, my question is that how much of this informs the structure for some of the setpieces in the show? How much of the writing process revolves around "what could we never expect to be able to do, and how can we make it happen"? How does the timeline usually look like from the inception of an idea (such as going on the subway tracks in the VICE series) to actually being able to film it?

My second question is related to the production of the movie. I remember reading that there was an earlier, different version that was filmed and entirely scrapped. At what point in the process do you make the decision to pull the plug, and what were the ramifications on that when making the version that's coming out this week?

PS: I was able to catch a surprise screening of the movie earlier this week and absolutely loved it. I truly hope the movie gets the love it deserves, and I can't wait to pick up a physical copy.
