what are each of your favorite songs in
the film the music is so wonderful
like in the hi like the song that's
playing is
my favorite song i know that sounds glib
but if it's on
i'm singing it
hi i'm caitlin from student edge nice to
meet you all
thank you so congratulations on the film
in the heights is so entertaining to
watch i actually felt very sad
when it was over i think i cried or
something so i'm wondering for you
what was that last day on set like
daphne maybe we can start with you for
this one
oh it was um it was
it was bittersweet we um we all came
over to my house afterward
stephanie had already left for
california um
so we missed you but a bunch of us came
over and
um and celebrated
the end of the
shoot day for for yeah it was it was so
bittersweet
you know because it's so precious
yeah for sure it is a very very precious
film
it's also a a massive celebration of
community and latin american culture
with some equally serious messages in
there as well
dasha you know what are you hoping that
people actually take away from this film
i hope that the audience connects um
with the message of the possibility and
opportunity
and inclusion and visibility and
recognition
and celebration and just feeling proud
um i think it's important for us to know
that that we're worthy
um and i speak of those things because
those are things that
i as well needed um and i feel like
right now after the year that we've had
the world has had
we need that we need to feel empowered
it's a story of a block that was
disappearing the genius
he's a chance is her out right now hey
something on your shirt
smooth operator and something i really
loved about the movie
was the relationship between carlo and
daniella
stephanie and daphne you know how
important
was it having this queer relationship
represented
i was so excited when i found out that
the characters were going to be sort of
tweaked
rewritten i guess to be a gay couple
and i thought ah fits so well it it fits
so perfectly in what's already there
right like it's not like
okay we're gonna set romeo and juliet in
the wild west it's not anything weird
like
that right like it just fits who these
people already are
and for me it was so lovely to see
how subtly it's been layered into the
film because it's just
in these beautiful moments where you see
them waking up together you see them
slow dancing or you see the way that
they're looking at each other you know
the way that they share space just like
any regular couple
does i i just love that it's layered
into the film
and i'm i'm hopeful that audience is
like a notice it and i think
all of like the queer audiences will
immediately
notice it because we're always looking
we're like where are we
um but i also am excited for people to
sort of notice and discuss it with the
with their families with their extended
families with their friends you know
um i just think it's so vital
to see queer people living
happy productive wonderful loving lives
while being members of a functioning
community
yeah of course super important stuff and
i don't want to take up
much more of your time so to wrap up i'd
love to know what are each of your
favorite songs
in the film the music is so wonderful
we all like carnival yeah we do love
carnaval i love panda
but when i hear when the sun go you know
when the sun goes down
um you know like in the high like the
song that's playing
is my favorite song i know that sounds
glib
but if it's on i'm saying it um
yeah and it keeps getting better so that
said i like the songs that i
think that we're part of but you know
what they're all really good
and i lied they are
really good all of them thank you so
much for your time
thank you
