[Pamela Ribon]: Once we landed on the idea for each boy representing a genre and that genre represented a time in life when you “try on” a personality and all that comes with it, breaking the story into five distinct chapters made it possible to fully encompass an entire language and then drop it as Pam continues her mission.

[Sara Gunnarsdottir]: For “Un Gros Penis”, the arthouse chapter, we were looking at directors like [Jean-Luc] Godard and David Lynch for ideas and inspirations. Straight away I thought extreme close-ups would be essential here and that’s how we started off this chapter and then kept revisiting Pam’s face, and eyes especially, throughout. It made sense that her eyes were featured as a doorway to her inner self and then we also kept going through literal doors between one space to the next in this chapter, like they do in the film being featured at the cinema.
