Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

It's crazy because I was literally friends with so many in this doc and I was a part of that exact scene. It's crazy to think I lived all this, never knowing it was going to go any further than where we stood. And all of the sudden the movie KIDS blew up and that was all she wrote! 🙄
