“There’s a version of this movie where I use young, age-appropriate actors and I also use actors who were semi-famous teen actors in the ’90s for all the roles. I shoot two versions of the film with both sets of actors. Then in editing, I intercut them, switch them around, scene by scene, maybe shot by shot. To show us who we were and who we are at the same time. Maybe by the end of the film, we’ll have killed nostalgia dead.”
