And my mom described seeing me as she felt like I was almost floating.

Because all the moments and the scenes and the songs that I have dreamt of for five years are shot, they’re edited, they’re in the movie, and now we get to kind of release our baby into the world. And I’ve been involved in it in a way that I never had before as an artist. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this film.

And we knew that, you know, the first cover was going to be the first time that anyone sees Cassie. And of course, we wrote original songs but we also got the chance to do two really cool covers. And we jumped into this journey together. I sent the script to Justin Tranter, he fell in love with it, with Cassie, with the message that she represented. You know, Netflix trusted me to pick my writing partner. You know, it was - being behind the scenes of the music process and the soundtrack was so exciting.

How did you decide that was the cover you wanted to kick things off with? Yes! So tell me how that got placed in the film.
