Hi guys, how are you
Hello. How are you? I'm good. I am so excited to talk to you about this movie
It stole my theater kid heart and was just so fulfilling. While I was watching it, I was kind of reminded how so many theater people have such vivid and heartfelt memories of their time at theater camp
So while you guys were filming this movie, did you have any theater camp experiences growing up that you were sort of brought back to at all
Well, you didn't go to theater camps. I didn't go to theater camp. I'll take this. I didn't really go to theater camp either. I went to Canyon Creek Sports Camp, but I made it theater. I made it theatrical. I sang a Rihanna song, Unfaithful at the talent show. And I had all my little camper mates behind me in dresses. I put them in drag. So I would say, yeah, it felt like camp. It really felt like camp. It was just like a bunch of our best friends
making a movie together and having fun and eating food and sweating and loving each other
So, yeah. My experiences were more with, like, sports camps. Like, I would go to sleepaway basketball camp
And then there was also a camp I went to in Sequoia National Park growing up that was right on a lake
So it wasn't a theater camp, but there were still, you know, there were talent shows
There was lip syncing involved. And I think when you creative at heart you always make whatever situation you in a bit theatrical 100 I love that Yeah As you mentioned it seemed like such a fun crew working on this movie
like you guys are all friends. Do each of you have sort of a specific day or memory on set
that stands out to you the most when you look back? I think there was one scene I did with Jimmy, where we were, I don't know if it made the movie
actually, but we were in his office and we were talking a lot about my costuming needs
and it was like the most fun I've ever had improvving because he's a genius improver
and it was like the take was probably like an hour long I was going back about that
it was so fun I don't think that actually made it into the movie I don't think so I think it was a lot of fun
but Owen was because you know Nick Molly Ben and Noah were you know they had to be on set the whole time
on our off days me and Owen were spending the most time
together out there hitting up the outlets in upstate New York, Outback Steakhouse
I mean, we were turning it up out there. Outback Steakhouse is amazing, I have to say
He's their number one fan. I am. Yeah, it sounds like some quality days off
Love it. This movie has such a great message at the end that, like, totally pulled at my heart
For you guys, what do you hope audiences take away from this movie when they see it
I think Molly, Nick, Ben, and Noah did such a beautiful job adding heart into
comedy and I think comedies kind of lack that nowadays and they just like managed to infuse so much heart into it So I hope honestly audiences leave feeling like they need to call their best friend and reconnect
And yeah, I hope it brings a sense of family and that community is alive and well
Yeah, I hope it just leaves them feeling happy. I think there's like you said, there's so many comedies now that are tackling difficult issues
And while that is important, it's nice to watch a movie that's just there to make you happy and make you feel good
And the feeling that we had making this movie, I think, translates when you're watching it
And the way it wraps up is just such a beautiful moment
And it just leaves you with a smile on your face. So I hope the audience is just leave having as much fun as we did making it
What up at Rondex? Listen out, squad game? Maybe uh... zip it
Could we just get you guys a shit? Oh, what a beautiful... Morning
Oh, that's dope. Welcome of auditioners. You guys are so talented, so unbelievable
This will break you. This will fully destroy you. Congratulations on being the most talented kids at camp. Starfish. Starfish
Jiggle like a jackal. These are the things we can do with masks These people are really weird That a good song she was right I do believe her as a French prostitute Famous
Oh, I'm sorry. Sex worker. Thank you. Sad news, I will not be doing piercings anymore in The Hutt
Because there's a narque amongst us. Cassie has narked. Totally fine. We're gonna need to prioritize the musicals
which means the straight plays are gonna have to be acoustic. Quick question
What's a straight play? There are musicals and then there are straight plays
So then what would be a gay play? I guess I'm a musical
Oh, cool. I know this one's a theater camp classic, so similar regards to Broadway Bits
We only have three weeks to create a masterpiece. It's on you now. All on you
Let's do this. And cue cocaine. You need to know that only 3% of people make it
The rest end up in a mental facility or on a go-go box in Hell's Kitchen
This is a complete disaster. Everything is gonna be okay. It doesn't work okay
We're theater people. We know how to turn cardboard into gold. You think this is fun in games
It's not fun. It's art. Minor housekeeping issue, whoever stole my CBD gummies, please return that
I'm pretty sure I know who it was
