They talk about the contemporary culture that affects young people today, what it’s like to have to be seen with the right people, wearing the right clothes etc and how this peer pressure has been affected by The Internet.

Sofia also talks about trying to their their rehearsals for her movies to be as fun and authentic as possible getting them to create vision boards to help them process how their characters would behave.
