Hulu's 'Summer of 69' marks the directorial debut of Jillian Bell, who likens the experience to 'giving birth in front of everyone.' The film features Sam Morelos as a sexually inexperienced teen trying to gain confidence in her last school week, with the guidance of a local stripper played by Chloe Fineman. Bell discusses her dual role as a director and actress, emphasizing the careful balance required in filmmaking. Ultimately, the film conveys a message about the importance of taking one's time in personal development.
You're really just wanting it to be a smooth delivery, and that everybody enjoys it and loves it as much as you love making it.
You can't tell the actors, 'We have zero time to get this shot.' You have to play it cool.
Ultimately, Bell hopes the coming of age story lets viewers know 'you don't have to rush to be something that you may not be.'
