The family film follows 13-year-old Nate, who has aspirations to one day make it big on Broadway.

How was this experience different from being on Broadway?

I was so happy.

Was there anything that surprised you the most about being on a film set?

Wood:How everything works.

What was some of the best advice she gave you, Aria?

She gave me a lot of advice in the moment, too.

Wood:It was pretty different, because it was all on Zoom, and it was all virtual.

When I auditioned, I sent in a self-tape.

I filmed myself doing the song in the scene, and then I sent it in.

Aria, have you always wanted to work in entertainment like Libby?

I grew up around that.

Brooks:I definitely think comedy, that’s my strong suit.

All roles are for me, I feel like.

I’m glad I got to experience this.

I loved getting to film the go-off scenes.

Wood:Yeah, and to piggyback off that, I agree with Aria.

It was some of the best times.
