DOMEE SHI When I started this movie, I was determined
to make something different.
It's been a long time since I was thirteen.
But I just remember a lot of highs and lows.
So, the red panda is basically a metaphor for growing up
and how that transition happens.

LINDSEY COLLINS Everything's different about this film.
I mean, I don't know how to answer that question without starting with Domee.

is that I'm still asking questions.
DANIELLE FEINBERG How do we push the boundaries of style?
In the look of things.
DOMEE SHI We're paying homage to anime
in the expressions and the acting.
RONA LIU It was important to design her
in the way that we saw ourselves.
Hey Rona, you have really patchy eyebrows!
DOMEE SHI Really patchy eyebrows!
STACY O. M. G!
DOMEE SHI This film is very personal to me.
It was very much inspired by my own life.
SANDRA OH I knew you were trouble.
MING How dare you take advantage of her!
RONA LIU It's the first time in my career
where all the key leadership are women.
ROSALIE CHIANG Oh my gosh, that was the best day ever.
DANIELLE FEINBERG There's definitely a lived experience
that we get to bring to the movie.
And this film is about figuring out who you are and embracing that.
DOMEE SHI I can't wait to show people just how weird
teenagers can be because I was totally that as a teen
and a young adult, and like now.
