Director Molly Gordon and costar Ayo Edebiri discuss their Sundance Film Festival hit, which received a standing ovation and an instantaneous $8 million deal with Searchlight Pictures.A love for all things theater lies deep at the heart of Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman, Ben Platt, and Noah Galvin’s decades-spanning friendship. The quartet met one another at different points in their lives, dating all the way back to childhood .
Theater kids are notoriously stereotyped as being idiosyncratic at best and obnoxious at worst. Who better to poke fun at them than the folks who actually lived that experience? Because the film came from a place of love, the director felt she “had a license to make fun of it”—but it was ultimately important to find the balance between leaning into the heightened nature of theater while still being self-aware.
For Gordon, having stand-up comedians like Edebiri and Harrison on board meant being able to “give them a space where they could be that crazy and do whatever they want.” After having spent the better part of her booked and busy 2022 working on, Edebiri had been “craving” the chance to dive into a character as internally chaotic and “disconnected from reality” as Janet, especially since it allowed her to return to her improv roots.
