guys we are your friends what was your
kind of feeling going into it was there
a lot of pressure because it's such a
specific genre was there pressure what
are people gonna say oh yeah there's a
lot of press there still is a lot of
pressure I mean it's a it's oddly polar
you say the three letters EDM and people
it's polarizing you know people are are
people inside the world are very
opinionated and rightfully so and people
outside of it have their opinions and
everyone is expecting certain things
from this movie so I think that the it
was good pressure though because we had
to get it right yeah you know there was
a lot of pressure that we had to be
authentic and we had to get it right and
part of the way I think we got it well I
hope we got it right is that it's not
about EDM right it's it's a it's a
coming-of-age story and it uses a lot of
great electronic music but it's not an
expose on the music world well I took a
DJ friend with me to watch it because he
was really keen how do you think DJ's
are gonna kind of see it well we had
some test drives
I really liked it I mean I think that
this story is timeless and sort of like
anyone can relate to a lot of the ideas
in it so whether or not you like
electronic music you'll enjoy the film
okay it must be weird for you you're
kind of the only girl on set so what was
it like being with these with these guys
I mean I love both of them so it was fun
you know definitely I think we all
became like this you know working like
together in a way that you kind of
forgot that who's the girl and who's the
guy you know it's difficult it's not no
they're great okay if you put yourself
in the shoes of a DJ for now I want to
know what song you would pick to fill a
dancefloor
get your booty on the foot tonight make
my dick
good okay I would do one from our
playlist the movie we have a mix of
desire by years and years good I think I
do
Saul wax New York excuse yeah okay how
about you clearing the dance floor
always makes me stay everyone's gone I
love that song and everyone's mean I
love it too I would just sit down and
take a breather yeah I need a breather
yeah I'll let people and behind the
scenes kind of offset I really hope that
you were playing like pop music I think
there's a lot of hip-hop going yeah we
all like hip-hop so definitely listened
to a lot of hip-hop in between yeah and
also we do we take we noticed this like
incredible trend that like a lot
especially like on soundcloud that
hip-hop is more than ever finding a
connection with EDM and the mixes are
like insane so I love I came in this
movie loving hip-hop and still ups to
also love me a BM but when we found that
sort of like middle groove all the mixes
I kept trying to add them to your
playlist and you like to be like Zac my
let me keep my playlist yourself
everything now I mean listen to at the
top like a couple like the weekend you
know can't feel my face that's totally
electronic so I'm like yeah and there's
more and more of that which is cool yeah
from the purpose of my next question I'm
just gonna put you into the category of
model actor and director because
obviously Cole looks up to James readers
like a mentor for him in this film so in
your professions who would you maybe
turn to for advice or a cup of tea I
really want to say I'd want to use an
actress okay
I mean especially after working with
Emily I would I don't think I'd put her
in just a model no I was actually I
really was impressed by how well he's it
in were you guys go first I I have some
real-life mentors that that were on set
at times
this guy Dan adieus who who's directed a
lot of television shows and I met him
like 10 years ago in LA and he he was a
real life I know that's not like an
exciting answer but he was like he is a
real life mentor to me and helped me
yeah
Paul Newman yeah I'd say Kate Winslet or
I'm like love her so much or Susan
Sarandon actually I really admire you
know her sort of like longevity that
she's had in that career Bruce Lee are
like a whatever I Danny Boyle I think is
do it Trainspotting I mean he just he
does something different in every movie
and he's just so full of energy and I
don't know his films used music and the
coast laughs I'm happy with them I'm
happy then and finally I just want to
ask laughs it's called we are your
friends and I want to be friends with
you guys I think max maybe you probably
know better than anyone how you get to
be friends with these guys because
coming into this interview do you know
how many texts I've had from people like
oh my god I love Emily so max I think
you're the person tell me how you get to
be friends now well you've got a I mean
you've got a you've got to write a
script why you got that's what that's
what did it right that's how i lured you
guys know you've got a you've got to
find the part of yourself that connects
with other people and like you know
there's Zak and I have a connection that
you know we discovered right away and
same thing with with MLA too and we were
able to talk about the movie in these
characters because we shared a lot of a
lot of their traits you know that that a
lot of that came from me and they
brought their own life to it and you
know I just think that's just basic
connecting with people and that's what
friends are
you could also you could also just walk
into you know any any restaurant and we
could strike up a conversation yeah cool
you guys let me know where you are later
then I will be there thank you so much
thank you
