First of all, thank you very much for being here with us, it's a pleasure to be able to talk to you and about this project that is so important to the fans. I'll ask you three questions.

1) I live outside the US-UK axis, I'm from Brazil, so for now I don't have access to the documentary. Do you plan to expand access with, perhaps, on a streaming service or to buy it on DVD?

2) What's your favorite part of the shows? For example: Mine is when John shares an apron with Chuck Berry. lol I'd like to hear yours, as a fan and not exactly a director.

3) What was your biggest challenge while working on Daytime Revolution?

Once again, thank you for being here and for producing something that the entire fandom will surely support and love. ❤️
 
Hi, Erik! First of all, thank you so much for your dedication to this project. All the fans feel very lucky when talented people take their time to bring something new and exciting for us, we are forever grateful!

Now for my first question: If you had the chance to be there during only one of those days of filming, as a part of the audience or production, which day would you choose and why?
 
Is there any footage that did not make into the documentary but that you'd to share with us some interesting details about?
 
Did the restoration of The Beatles' Get Back had any influences on how you guys restored the Talk Show footage?
 
Hi Erik! What were some new things you learned about John while creating this documentary? Did any specific personality traits stand out?
 
What is the biggest takeaway we could learn from this moment in John’s life? What’s the biggest takeaway YOU’VE learned?
 
When did the project of the documentary start and how did you become the director? Have you always been a Lennono fan and enthusiast?
 
John shared during the show his reaction to seeing his hero Chuck Berry in person for the first time... Were there any other recollections by the people that were there or any footage of that special moment?
 
There are A LOT of myths around the fact that Yoko's microphone was muted during Johnny B. Goode - people believe it was because of Chuck's reaction to her performance... A manipulated audio of that moment is used to spread and encourage a lot of hate towards Yoko. Could you tell us more about what actually happened there?
