I got an email from Justin and then he called me out of nowhere and pitched to me the vision of the film. And so immediately I bought in and was like, yeah, I'm here for it.

In my opinion, I find it very hard to believe the allegations against him. And considering his mission statement about the film and him genuinely pitching that he was doing this film to help young women, I just find it hard to believe the allegations, to be honest.

Probably, yeah. I think that there was a massive compromise in terms of Justin's original vision for the film. I think in film, we always want our work to have a meaningful impact. And a lot of us in film do it because we care. And to see it be overtaken by this was definitely a little bit sad.

it'd be nice if everybody could put their swords down, you know, and acknowledge their part in it and get along, but we don't really live in that world. Right. It's a little too late for that. So I hope that the truth comes out, you know, I hope that. Okay. That's enough.
