“I definitely didn’t want to be making a teen film,” she said. “I mean, my goal was that teenagers would watch it and feel so well-represented in many ways. The key, though, is that when you’re a teenager, you’re not watching teen films, you’re watching adult films. Like, that’s the whole point of being a teenager.”
“So that’s the thing: I do feel like, in many ways, it’s the perfect teenage film, because it isn’t catered to you, it’s catered to people older.,” she concluded. “And that’s what you’re aiming for.”
