Some thoughts below...

When the crew steps down, a Charlie, Eric and Graydon thing is formed.  Very proud of this Thriller created for the 2025 Kazoo Film Project.  A nice day in the woods similar to "Daddy for a Good Time" but with a bit more focus and one less child involved.

I did not mean to bring a full on video game character into this but I think it was a good use of me and moved us from point A to point B quickly.  Just sad I couldn't grow out my facial hair enough in time but I made the right choice not using a fake mustache.

Eric and I have been doing this for almost 20 years now, we have both gotten better at working and easier at working with each other.  If I would have had more focus or time I could have highlighted him better but he did a great job.

This idea has been in my head for a while, the bigger idea being a parent deciding when they can protect their child and when they need to let go.  Not sure if I made that connection, and Eric came off kind of harsh to my son Graydon... but honestly that's kind of how I parent when I take them in public.  

Originally my daughter Emerson was supposed to fill in but she got sick and also no longer wanted to do it so Graydon stepped up and we all had a good day.  Thank God I bought his tablet and a wagon which he made into a bit of an actor's trailer when Eric and I were figuring this thing out.

Then the ending and after credits scene.  Not part of the original plan, infact I filmed it in a Chuck E Cheese bathroom.  The people in my movies and I have joked recently that all of these after credit scenes will combine to an Avengers style experience soon.... I don't think I'll actually do that.  I don't get enough views for the original let alone a sequel, and it is fun just to have these things exist on their own.
