KING PRINCESS: It’s beautiful working with people that you love, but it’s hard to differentiate yourself from another person. At a certain point you kind of mesh into one. I work with my girlfriend [Quinn Wilson] on a lot of stuff, and we’re always fighting off set, but then on set, we’re this perfect machine and it works really well.
SELIGMAN: It’s dope, but there’s pros and cons, because you really are just thrown into the deep end, and there’s no way to learn other than by just doing it. I also think it’s a reflection of young people hiring other young people. The head of our studio, Alana Mayo, isn’t exactly our age, but she’s young for her position. I feel like it takes other risk takers and other young people who are in positions of power to hire more of their people. But you don’t feel proven.
KING PRINCESS: There’s two different releases. There’s one to the people who need it, who you made it for. You don’t get praise or negativity from those people, you just know that it found the right place in space and time for somebody. That’s how I feel about certain releases, where I’m like, “I know this has entered into a sphere that is beyond me, and somebody will cherish it.
