—who would be directing the film. Barris had written the screenplay with Jonah Hill, and they had London in mind for the lead role of Amira, a costume designer from Los Angeles who falls in love with an aspiring podcaster, who just happens to be Jewish.
For sure. I think that was also a reason why Kenya reached out to me was because he was like—I can't put words in his mouth—but it was like, how I was going to develop Amira and how I was going to interpret her. Kenya's very big on improv-ing and very big on you bringing yourself to a character and it being realistic. I think I work best in that way.She felt very strong and vulnerable at the same time.
I can only speak about my experience in there. The scene where I meet the parents, I had some triggering moments where I had to remind myself that we are in a scene and we are acting. But even the conversations brought up some real experiences for me. They were triggering. Watching them improv. Watching them walk on set and how professional they were. I keep saying this, but it's so true—I was a student, and I just watched. I observed them and watched them and laughed at them and admired them and was so grateful to be able to play with them, essentially. I definitely walked away from this film with more knowledge than I walked in with. I came out better than I walked in.
