Key quotes
· 3 pulledWe wanted to be completely period-authentic, down to the year. The first thing I did was go through my own personal playlist of my favorite songs in the '90s.
The music had to feel like it was pulled straight from that era, not just any '90s song, but something that would have actually been playing in that specific moment.
Every needle drop was intentional — we wanted the soundtrack to tell its own story alongside the visuals.
