Its not a guarantee that youll necessarily find the same level of success with something else.
NOAH BECK: I was just sick of being Noah.
I think for the longest time, I was craving the collaboration that you get with a movie.
It is one of those things where you start from scratch.
Ive fallen in love with it, so thats made it easy.
I dont want a door slammed in my face.

Those 33 million people can help me peek in, but ultimately the rest is up to me.
And so, I think and hope that this film shows the work that Ive been putting in.
Did you go into this with that confidence, or were you nervous on day one?

How did you handle that?
BECK: Thats a good question.
Im a huge fan of this genre and this category of movie.
Weve seen this plot before.
I think what separates this one is just the rawness and the layers that you get from it.
I think my job was to know my guy as well as I could.
I pulled from the source material of the book.
I knew who my guy was, and so I knew what I needed to do.
Siena, what was that like for you?
It applies to everything, whether its acting or your job.
If youre so confident about it, theres not a lot of play to it.
I worked really hard on the dancing, and Im proud of that.
Im so grateful for the people I worked alongside.
And then, [Noah] worked so hard.
How much fun was it to find that inner sass?
AGUDONG: I had to reach really hard for that one.
It was really fun.
It ultimately comes from a place of being emotionally guarded that I understand.
Shes so confident that she turns away.
Its not like shes just constantly trying to dismiss it.
It was very fun.
I love characters like that.
Was it all just in the script?
AGUDONG: I had to keep telling him to put his shirt back on.
Youre like, All right, and youre just doing your part.
You put your trust in the people that have it now.
I walked away being like, How often did I have my shirt off?
I hope that was a tasteful amount.
I hope it wasnt too in-your-face.
There was not a conversation.
There was not a number that we put on it.
It was just like, Look, you know your guy.
You know who youre playing.
Its a funny question.
AGUDONG: Ill change it up, depending on who is the one asking me the question.
BECK: For me, yeah, it depends on the group.
It depends on the crowd.
Cant lie, I havent played a game of Truth or Dare in a while.
AGUDONG: Yeah, same here.
Noah, what’s it like to have James Van Der Beek play your dad?
BECK: I will continue to sing James praises.
Hes a great actor and great guy, and I have nothing but the best to say about him.
Siena, Dallas is a dancer and a cheerleader.
Youre doing cheers, youre dancing in a studio, and youre out in a club at night.
What was your favorite dance moment in this?
AGUDONG: I feel like I have to go with that final audition scene.
We worked so hard on that.
Jeff kept peeking at me, throughout it, while she was dancing in front of me.
He told me, at the end of it, Youre gonna get it.
I swear, youre gonna get it.
It looks crazy, but youre gonna get it.
We worked so hard to get to a place that I love.
For dancers watching it, I think theyll be able to break it down and really see the art.
Jeffrey is an Emmy-nominated choreographer and he put so much heart into the choreography.
When you really break it down into the story that it tells, its really powerful.
Dancing is still new in my life, so that meant a lot.
What makes a great rom-com for each of you?
Do you guys have any particular favorites that you think really got it right?
Thats frustrating because its such a real thing.
Weve got that inSidelined.
Thats what I like about it.
BECK: Have you ever seenMidnight in Paris?
I love that film.
Would that count as a rom-com?
I found it to be a rom-com.
I love that movie, just purely out of the creativeness of it.
It had more to give than just a surface level relationship, with the history of it.
I thought it was a fresh version of that.
Noah, whats next for you?
Do you know what youre doing next?
Do you know what you want to do next?
BECK: I wanna keep acting.
This was my first one.
The idea of it is nice.
Being like, I wanna be a movie star, has a nice ring to it.
This project answered all those questions, and its a yes, I want to.
So, thats the goal.
Whats hopefully in my future is more projects.
Siena, how about for you?
Do you have a plan?
Do you try not to have a plan, since you cant really plan for anything in this business?
AGUDONG: No, you really cant.
I love this job so much, but Im also pursuing school at the same time.
I love that aspect of things.
Somehow, Ive been so blessed to film in the summers.
I have two indie movies coming out.
Im not sure when, perhaps next year or perhaps the year after that.
One has been announced, but the other hasnt.
So, be on the lookout for those.
Im just chugging along.
