If you were a teen in the early 2000s, the film Dìdi will likely evoke a strong sense of nostalgia. Dìdi, which is said to embrace “the cringier side of adolescence,” premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Audience Award for the best U.S. Dramatic film.

In today’s episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins speaks with Sean Wang and Arielle Zakowski to discuss:

The invaluable experience gained working in advertising
Why the advertising world is a great start for new filmmakers
Feeling emotion through the computer screens in the film
Our silly AOL Instant Messenger user names from the early 2000s
Empowering the young actors and giving them the space to play
How to help actors stop overthinking when they are stuck in their heads
Getting the director’s cut finished in time to submit to Sundance
Being pregnant during post-production
The power of making small, very personal films
