Sophie Hyde

It's saying like,

can I think differently about this?

Could I choose a different path?

And Matt and I, when we were writing the film, we were constantly like, okay, what happens if when we think they're going to get angry at each other or they're going to do something that will kind of up the drama, what if they do choose kindness?

So we were really exploring that concept of whether that was possible and whether you can have disagreement, like loving disagreement within that as well.

You could have asked Sophie first, you see, that was much better done.

It was one of the first collaborations because Ord and I have been in conversation about kind of creative ideas for their life.

You know, if you have a filmmaker as a parent, that's kind of what you get in part.

And Ord is a very kind of switched on, engaged human.

So they were constantly asking me to kind of consider my life and the way that I was.

And that kind of fed into the creativity.

So they were really a part of the conversation.

I didn't necessarily know that they were going to be in the film.

That was like, that kind of was something that we needed to wait and see how that fit in and whether they were the right age, whether it would work with the others, like, and then it felt like that was the right choice at a point.

But for sure, creatively, they were part of it.

They were early stages in the kind of writing and conversation.

But they were like when we started writing, they were 14 and then the characters 16.

And by the time we shot, I think they were they turned 19 on set.

So, you know, things changed a lot for them.

I mean, Olivia is like, you're just like, you're like, what can you say?
