First Black Movie By Oscar Micheaux

Welcome to the podcast! Today, we're talking about Oscar Micheaux, the true start of Black movie-making. He was the first big African-American director to make a long movie.

Micheaux (born 1884) didn't like the bad ways Black people were shown in movies made by white people. He was a writer who became a director so he could tell honest stories about how complex Black life really was.

His most important movie, "The Homesteader" (1919), is seen as the first long movie written and directed by a Black person. This started the "race film" business, making movies just for Black audiences in segregated theaters.

Micheaux's work was bold. He fought stereotypes, talked about tough subjects like lynching, and was a great businessman, making over 40 films (like Body and Soul and Within Our Gates).

His importance is huge: he created a whole industry, gave Black actors chances, and proved how powerful it is to tell your own story, even when things are difficult.

00:00:01.389 --> 00:00:05.190
What's going on people not just music podcast

00:00:05.190 --> 00:00:11.769
in a building again, I have some Personnel to

00:00:11.769 --> 00:00:20.010
point out today and In light of black history

00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:26.670
month and in light of the black community we've

00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:32.890
strived in many ways to get things as the quote

00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:40.969
unquote white folks used to get and growing from

00:00:40.969 --> 00:00:46.310
not having to what we have now has considerably

00:00:46.310 --> 00:00:49.530
changed in a lot of ways. One of the biggest

00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:55.289
things is the media world or quote, let's just

00:00:55.289 --> 00:01:00.619
say movie world. Movie world has changed in so

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:06.859
many ways, like going from, you know, 1800s to

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:10.340
1800s, there were movies that were out or being

00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:15.480
put out at the time that were actually degrading

00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:22.420
the black world, black people as a whole. So

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:25.540
we weren't, again, we weren't always looked at.

00:01:25.609 --> 00:01:29.969
in the golden light, but for the sake of this,

00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:35.489
this was a situation that, you know, was, in

00:01:35.489 --> 00:01:37.829
a sense, it was really bold. Some of the stuff

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:40.170
in some of the movies that were being put out

00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:46.530
at the time about black people. Now, in this

00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:53.120
age, we are pretty much free. to create movies

00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:58.859
how we want to. And as a person that has dealt

00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:06.760
with a movie and touched a movie before and understanding

00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.180
what goes into a movie and what it takes to create

00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:14.300
a movie and put out a movie, all of this stuff

00:02:14.300 --> 00:02:19.939
comes to mind and the... aspects of what it might

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:24.039
have been then to now. So I'm going to ask you.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:32.039
So if if you you put out a movie and you've you've

00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.199
experienced the what it's like to have a movie.

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:41.759
But let me let me ask the question. So. How did

00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.039
it feel to be able to express it exactly how

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.699
you want it to? Oh man. Expressing it through

00:02:53.699 --> 00:03:00.800
movie, man. I feel like it brought my vision

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:03.900
to life. You know what I'm saying? Like, you

00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:06.340
know, we do music videos. I'm a music artist

00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:10.840
also. So we do music videos, but a thing about

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.199
a movie is you get to tell your story, like,

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.930
you know, long version. It's not short version,

00:03:19.090 --> 00:03:22.590
you know what I'm saying? It's a completed piece

00:03:22.590 --> 00:03:28.370
of work. So when I did my movie, it felt good

00:03:28.370 --> 00:03:32.509
to, for one, be able to do my movie and tell

00:03:32.509 --> 00:03:35.710
my story because that's always been a goal of

00:03:35.710 --> 00:03:40.610
mine, a dream of mine. And then in a world we

00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:44.490
live in today where people are so opinionated

00:03:44.490 --> 00:03:47.900
and Judging other folks life and judging other

00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:51.340
people. It feels good to be alive and tell your

00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:54.680
own story. You know what I'm saying? So I, I,

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.219
I looked at it, looked at that as a blessing

00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:00.639
because I got to tell my story while I was alive.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:03.259
You know, a lot of people tell their story, uh,

00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:05.319
other people telling their story and they did,

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.840
they had it going, you know, to rest their souls,

00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.770
but. It was a blessing and I felt like that's

00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:13.250
why I was eager to do it because I didn't want

00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:16.689
nobody telling my story other than Quincy Murdoch.

00:04:16.870 --> 00:04:19.170
So that was the beauty of creating my own film.

00:04:19.269 --> 00:04:22.290
Like you said, I got to create my own narrative.

00:04:22.949 --> 00:04:28.009
I got to tell my own story, my own truth. Now,

00:04:28.949 --> 00:04:36.009
you've experienced that joy of it and, you know,

00:04:36.550 --> 00:04:41.610
to say that, yeah. Yeah, I did this and wrote

00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.769
it. You put it all, you know, put it all together.

00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:54.610
Now, seeing all of the, you know, looking at

00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:59.689
the final product now, you know, like when it's

00:04:59.689 --> 00:05:05.250
done and you watch it again. Tell me the feeling

00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:08.209
like like because I know you sometimes pull it

00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:10.750
up and you sometimes You know, you'll send me

00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:13.170
a picture of it or you'll post it online, you

00:05:13.170 --> 00:05:16.149
know or something like that Like what's the what's

00:05:16.149 --> 00:05:22.709
the what's the feeling? To say that because I'm

00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:25.050
being just being honest everybody don't got a

00:05:25.050 --> 00:05:31.610
movie, you know, everybody Even if it's even

00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:35.089
if it's Even on it, I'm not even saying like

00:05:35.089 --> 00:05:39.129
this is wrong or say we say it humbly. You feel

00:05:39.129 --> 00:05:43.829
even even the low budgets and even the high budgets,

00:05:43.850 --> 00:05:46.610
it doesn't like it doesn't it doesn't matter.

00:05:46.670 --> 00:05:51.389
You have it. So what's the feeling to be able

00:05:51.389 --> 00:05:56.529
to say you can look at it years later, like years,

00:05:56.689 --> 00:05:59.209
like not even just not even just now. Just say

00:05:59.209 --> 00:06:02.100
you chose to pull it up in the next. eight to

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:07.100
10 years. What's the feeling? Okay, anybody that's

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:11.660
ever had a child, their first child, that's what

00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:16.420
it feels like every time I watch it. And that's

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:18.699
the best way to explain it. You know, that first

00:06:18.699 --> 00:06:21.560
child, that first baby is special. You know what

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:28.040
I'm saying? So it's like, also it's excitement

00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.949
because I get to leave a legacy. You know, like

00:06:31.949 --> 00:06:35.509
the Black history that we covered, for example,

00:06:36.149 --> 00:06:39.589
you know, they left milestones and legacies in

00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:42.970
some fashion or form. So I'm honored to be able

00:06:42.970 --> 00:06:45.189
to be able to leave a part of my legacy once

00:06:45.189 --> 00:06:47.990
I'm gone. You know, this would be submitted into

00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:52.089
my legacy, my name, you know, my family name,

00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:55.290
everybody that was associated with me that was

00:06:55.290 --> 00:06:57.350
a part of this. So it's a blessing. You know,

00:06:57.350 --> 00:07:00.209
even when I'm dead and gone, this is still going

00:07:00.209 --> 00:07:03.360
to be there. You know what I'm saying? So it's

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.000

honored for you to be able to shoot it. You know,

00:07:13.779 --> 00:07:16.199
I think it's in the best hands. I wouldn't have

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.079
no other person be in control of the filming,

00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:22.579
the production. Dwayne Bari know you. So, I mean,

00:07:22.579 --> 00:07:25.160
I'm honored with that. It's just, it's complete,

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:27.600
man. Like the whole project was complete. I feel

00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.310
like the right people were in it. and it came

00:07:31.310 --> 00:07:34.189
out how I wanted it. So I get butterflies every

00:07:34.189 --> 00:07:39.290
time I watch it, even to this day. And this is

00:07:39.290 --> 00:07:43.389
something I've been kind of strategically trying

00:07:43.389 --> 00:07:49.850
to pick things that can sometimes fit a conversation,

00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:55.970
because this is one that a lot of people don't.

00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.759

appreciate it even more. You're talking about

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.779
the finishing product. But also what that reminds

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:36.419
me of, I want to add this in. When I watch it,

00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.639
it takes me back to the work, the creativity

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.600
of it, the creation, you know what I'm saying?

00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:46.460
The relationships, being around these characters,

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:49.759
being around you. We strategize and it takes

00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.879
me back to the creation. So that's another key

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.940
thing that I want to throw in. That's where it

00:09:55.940 --> 00:09:59.259
take me to every time I watch it. And this is

00:09:59.259 --> 00:10:05.820
the history. This is something most, as I said,

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:13.120
don't. It's an experience that it comes and it

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.759
goes so fast, honestly, but the parts that make

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.690
it memorable are the parts where it's being put

00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:24.590
together, as you say, and you meet people and,

00:10:24.590 --> 00:10:27.590
you know, I'm going through, even when I was

00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:29.889
going through reels and just, you know, what

00:10:29.889 --> 00:10:32.309
to keep, what not to keep, things that would

00:10:32.309 --> 00:10:35.669
make sense, things that didn't make sense, or

00:10:35.669 --> 00:10:38.070
piecing, adding things in, all of that stuff,

00:10:38.769 --> 00:10:43.490
it came, it came as a, as you said, a strategic

00:10:43.490 --> 00:10:48.809
idea. And the reason I'm bringing this up today,

00:10:48.950 --> 00:10:51.830
I'm going to read it how I wrote it. Today, we're

00:10:51.830 --> 00:10:56.789
talking about Oscar McCall, the true start of

00:10:56.789 --> 00:11:01.049
black movie making. He was the first big African

00:11:01.049 --> 00:11:05.309
-American director to make a long movie. McCall,

00:11:05.509 --> 00:11:10.049
born 1884, didn't like the bad ways black people

00:11:10.049 --> 00:11:13.549
were shown in movies made by white people. He

00:11:13.549 --> 00:11:17.549
was a writer who became a director so he could

00:11:17.549 --> 00:11:21.450
tell honest stories about how complex Black life

00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:24.909
really was. His most important movie, which is

00:11:24.909 --> 00:11:27.929
the one that basically everybody knows about,

00:11:28.169 --> 00:11:31.690
is The Homesteader, which was put out in 1919.

00:11:32.490 --> 00:11:35.309
It's seen as the first long movie written and

00:11:35.309 --> 00:11:38.490
directed by a Black person that started the race

00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:41.110
film business, basically what they call race

00:11:41.110 --> 00:11:45.759
film. business making movies just for black audiences

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.500
in segregated theaters, which a lot of people

00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:51.580
didn't even know that that was the case. McCole's

00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:56.379
work was bold. He fought stereotypes, talked

00:11:56.379 --> 00:12:00.620
about tough subjects like lynching and was a

00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:05.120
great businessman making over 40 films like Body

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.789
and Soul. and within our gates. His importance

00:12:08.789 --> 00:12:12.330
is huge. He created a whole industry, gave black

00:12:12.330 --> 00:12:16.230
actors chances, and proved how powerful it is

00:12:16.230 --> 00:12:19.929
to tell our own story, even when things are difficult.

00:12:20.649 --> 00:12:26.250
So, shout out Michael, I mean Oscar McCall. The

00:12:26.250 --> 00:12:28.230
reason why I brought this name up was because

00:12:28.230 --> 00:12:35.149
it's not, he's not giving enough flowers. in

00:12:35.149 --> 00:12:38.309
this day and time, this day and age. And that's

00:12:38.309 --> 00:12:43.210
the openness of what you feel about the Quincy

00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:46.929
Murdoch movie. You know, how it all went and

00:12:46.929 --> 00:12:49.669
how it started and to how it ended and all the

00:12:49.669 --> 00:12:55.950
way to like now. How it was able to be executed.

00:12:56.649 --> 00:12:58.590
If it wasn't for this dude right here, we wouldn't

00:12:58.590 --> 00:13:00.169
have probably been able to have that type of

00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:08.320
execution. Right out there. It's strange, but

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.500
at the same time, it's very real that the black

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:17.200
film directors get their props. I think a lot

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:22.500
of them don't get enough props due to, considerably,

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.960
the movie world has almost considerably ran predominantly

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:30.460
white. But as time has been going on, you got

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:33.379
people like, Hot budget films too though, that's

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:36.419
where they get us at, the hot budget. But now,

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:38.799
you know what I'm saying, people shooting movies

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.580
on their phones and technology. So that's another

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:46.340
reason why blacks have prospered in filmmaking,

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:49.120
I think now. I want to throw that in there. Because

00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.279
it was major companies back in the day. Yeah,

00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:59.100
the affordability has made the gates open up.

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:05.019
I mean, independent, independent world. I'm sure

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:07.100
Oscar probably didn't think it'd get this far,

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:12.519
but it did. For real, bro, like you said, you

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.120
can take out a phone, you can take out a camera

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:20.639
in some magnitude, and you can shoot content

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.240
to put out to the world, whether it's short film

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.340
or whether it's a long film. The thing is, we

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:33.309
have that ability. So for closing, I'm gonna

00:14:33.309 --> 00:14:37.190
ask this question. For somebody, and I've asked

00:14:37.190 --> 00:14:40.149
this question before, I wanna know what you feelin'

00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:44.129
now. Somebody that's never, and this is for some

00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:49.289
young black boy, some young black girl, never

00:14:49.289 --> 00:14:51.850
shot a movie before, never shot a short film

00:14:51.850 --> 00:14:56.870
before. Is it possible? Is it doable? Tell me

00:14:56.870 --> 00:15:00.490
what you think, tell them what you think. Okay,

00:15:00.509 --> 00:15:05.269
listen, I'm a kid from Statesville, North Carolina,

00:15:05.710 --> 00:15:10.429
Bell Mount, didn't have my father, single mother,

00:15:10.950 --> 00:15:14.470
working multiple jobs, grandparents raised me,

00:15:15.649 --> 00:15:18.009
fell in love with music at a young age, started

00:15:18.009 --> 00:15:20.830
out playing the drums, but beating on pipes as

00:15:20.830 --> 00:15:24.429
a kid, and then watching Tupac and wanting to

00:15:24.429 --> 00:15:28.929
rap. Then seeing Tupac, which motivated me to

00:15:28.929 --> 00:15:31.519
want to be an actor, you know what I'm saying,

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:34.279
and stuff like that. So I say all that to say

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.200
this. Yes, it's doable. If I can do it, you can

00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.440
do it. You know what I'm saying? I'll tell you

00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:45.039
my story because I'm just like you. But the hunger,

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.799
the determination, the will to want to do it,

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.179
you got to have that will that you're going to

00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.259
do it, you know, and nothing's going to stop

00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:56.500
you. If it's a dream of yours, a goal of yours,

00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.919
whatever that is, making a movie, a certain job

00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.139
title, whatever it is you want to do, you can

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:07.019
do it. Put your mind to it. Put that grind in.

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:10.279
Put that work in. Invest in yourself. Put that

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.679
money behind it. Don't wait on people to put

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.220
money into you. Put money into yourself because

00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:21.320
no dollar is bad going into you and your brand.

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.220
And that's what I did. You know, I sacrifice

00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:29.340
my time, my effort. Also, Connect with good people

00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:32.039
great people I connected with the wine me and

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.820

Stay prayed up and it is possible. I'm telling

00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:03.320
you, I'm a walk of testimony. Just look at me.

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:07.400
All right, everybody, we appreciate you hanging

00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.259
out for the short duration. I'm trying to get

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:14.180
easy and better at this time thing. 30 minutes

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:16.680
can come and go so fast with this thing. And

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.019
I'm almost at 20 minutes. I ain't gonna I ain't

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:22.400
gonna drown y 'all because we got plenty of other

00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.990
things to listen to around this. So, always remember

00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:29.430
to get help. If you need help, get help, y 'all.

00:17:29.450 --> 00:17:31.970
Get help, get help, get help, get help. I just

00:17:31.970 --> 00:17:36.089
said that. If you wanna hear it again, get help,

00:17:36.349 --> 00:17:39.329
get help. This is not a thing where you should

00:17:39.329 --> 00:17:43.890
be taking on these tasks alone. If you have to

00:17:43.890 --> 00:17:47.049
go to school, go to school, if you need to learn

00:17:47.049 --> 00:17:49.970
it online, find online, classes online, courses

00:17:49.970 --> 00:17:53.109
online, whatever it is, whatever it is that you

00:17:53.109 --> 00:17:56.609
wanna do, Just reach out to somebody that's doing

00:17:56.609 --> 00:17:58.849
it. Get around somebody that's doing it. Like

00:17:58.849 --> 00:18:01.910
he just said, lock in with people that's actively

00:18:01.910 --> 00:18:03.930
in something that you're doing, and that could

00:18:03.930 --> 00:18:05.769
help. And even if they're not willing to help,

00:18:05.930 --> 00:18:07.690
find somebody else that's willing to help. Just

00:18:07.690 --> 00:18:11.069
keep going until you can get to that point where

00:18:11.069 --> 00:18:14.869
the goal is reached. And even if it takes a couple

00:18:14.869 --> 00:18:16.509
dollars, let it take a couple dollars, y 'all,

00:18:16.609 --> 00:18:19.650
for real. And sometimes that money spent. It'd

00:18:19.650 --> 00:18:21.890
be the best spent money just because the case

00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:24.670
of is for your knowledge, for your knowing. It

00:18:24.670 --> 00:18:27.549
ain't the case of saying you're gonna get somewhere

00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:30.630
free all the time, but for the sake of those

00:18:30.630 --> 00:18:33.289
places where it's worthy of you to spend that

00:18:33.289 --> 00:18:37.369
dollar, please spend that dollar. And gotta give

00:18:37.369 --> 00:18:39.089
it back. You gonna spend that money somewhere,

00:18:39.190 --> 00:18:41.710
you might as well spend that money on you. You

00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:43.170
gonna spend that money one way or the other.

00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:46.250
And gotta give it back. And you can't take it

00:18:46.250 --> 00:18:50.200
with you. He sees your heart and your hard work

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.619
towards it. It had definitely come back as something

00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:58.039
good. So as I said, continue to always ask for

00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.400
help. And if you can be the person to help somebody,

00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:04.799
help somebody. It goes a long way. Each one teach

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:08.400
one. It takes a village to raise everybody. So

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.460
don't just look at it. If you have the knowledge,

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:13.740
at least, and if it's the case of you have to

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:16.900
sell it to somebody, Be generous and be humble.

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:20.960
Don't always just expect to stand behind the

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.680
paywall for everything. Some things you can give

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.160
away, some things that's behind the paywall.

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:30.799
Just remember, be generous, be humble. And remember,

00:19:31.539 --> 00:19:37.390
it's not just a easy walk to get through. a gate,

00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:41.529
as I'm saying to you. If you know things, as

00:19:41.529 --> 00:19:45.789
Q says a lot, don't be a gatekeeper. Don't gatekeep

00:19:45.789 --> 00:19:48.950
so tight to where the gate's never open. And

00:19:48.950 --> 00:19:50.549
you'll be the only person standing behind that

00:19:50.549 --> 00:19:54.569
gate. And nobody else, and your ideas will just

00:19:54.569 --> 00:19:56.890
die right behind that gate. So nobody else ever

00:19:56.890 --> 00:20:00.069
get to know what you did or at least try to give

00:20:00.069 --> 00:20:04.349
that advice to somebody. So your legacy can live

00:20:04.349 --> 00:20:08.190
on. Legacies don't live on behind paywalls. So

00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:13.869
again, get help. Lastly, autism community, I

00:20:13.869 --> 00:20:18.299
love y 'all. Always continue to, you know. Just

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:21.980
continue to get around these people. This is

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:24.500
another thing to help to get around people that's

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:29.059
doing things in that field of autism, or that

00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:31.380
know things about disabilities, or whatever it

00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:34.079
is, the case of it is, the choice is, get around

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.039
those people. And I'm guaranteeing you, somebody

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.880
around there knows who to talk to, where to go.

00:20:41.490 --> 00:20:45.890
and can put you in on a path to helping your

00:20:45.890 --> 00:20:48.470
loved one that's dealing with this. So at the

00:20:48.470 --> 00:20:50.569
end of the day, again, if you need help from

00:20:50.569 --> 00:20:54.950
here, just reach out. Reach out, email, whatever

00:20:54.950 --> 00:20:56.930
it is in case of a message. If you put it under

00:20:56.930 --> 00:20:59.670
this video or whatever, let's link it. If in

00:20:59.670 --> 00:21:01.950
this case you need help, let's get help for you,

00:21:01.950 --> 00:21:06.289
