[00:50:05] S0: That's a good question. So there's many moments, I guess, just collectively in how we've hired people and who we get to work with every day that feels like a goosebump, to be honest. But, we we know we know how... Host a film festival, I think I was telling you, where we we get, like, thousands of people in, like, the Lincoln Center here in New York City to showcase, like, some of the best films and we get thousands of people and work with like some of the greatest like filmmakers in the world. That that feels like amazing. But if you look back at like the first version that we ever did, like, I don't know, four, four, five years ago, We did it in a very small theater in Chinatown. It was like, I mean, is 2022 ish, I think 2023. We're testing the idea of what happens if we start like just promoting and doing more of like a celebration of art and artists. And look, thought like no one was gonna show up. And, and like, yeah, we, we had a full theater. It was a small theater, but I had a full theater and that was like an interesting moment. I mean, now we're selling out like way bigger venues and it's way more impactful, but looking back, I think the moment where we saw just like people lining up for this small theater to watch the things felt like, oh, oh, it works. You know? People really like this. And so, yeah, maybe maybe it was a good, like, moment in in the history of the company. [00:51:21] S1: Maybe the future Oscar award is a Runway Award. [00:51:24] S0: Yeah. There we go.
