My main source material was Priscilla’s book, and that was a direct quote from the book.” “And my great casting advisors, Fred Roos, Courtney Bright, and Nicole Daniels, were such fans of Cailee’s and said, ‘You have to meet Cailee Spaeny.’ And then Kirsten Dunt had just worked with Cailee and told me how talented she thought she was.”
“And that he had the sensitivity to show this other side of him. We weren’t doing the performer, the outward. I knew he was vulnerable and sensitive from the way Priscilla described him.” “The ending,” she shared. “It’s very difficult to sit and watch a film about you, your life, and your love.” “That was the attraction. And people think, oh, it was sex, it was this. Not at all. I never had sex with him [at that time]. He was very kind, very soft, very loving.”“But he also respected the fact that I was only 14 years old. We were more in mind and thought, and that was our relationship.”

I thought it was really important to see the story from beginning to her ending up leaving the relationship.”

I really tried to make the film from her point of view so you could go along in the journey with her and experience her story along with her.” “It was something that she told me, and I thought, I loved that moment where you see that they were really sharing something, and he was revealing something.”
Like Cailee and Jacob, Sofia relished having Priscilla as a go-to person for questions. “Yeah, I felt so lucky to be able to speak with Priscilla and ask questions. And so, throughout the process, I would just keep questions for her.”
