Every character has something authentic about them, and it’s important, especially as the movie spins off into outer space plotwise, to keep the grounding and to always balance the absurd and the outrageous with something we all relate to. I wanted to take it to a new place - to have the same characters you know and love, and they’re so funny and weird, and there’s something so truthful about each character.Īnna Kendrick’s Beca is kind of the grounded one, the prism through which the normal world views these events. At the same time, you never want it to feel like it was phoned in, like “Oh, they just scribbled something down and got the band together and threw it on camera.” I wanted to make sure we maintained that for so many reasons.

Rockers raced around colliding and pushing one another, sometimes falling to the ground.Ĭrowds moved across the festival area as bands took the stage.ĭavid Bochette, 27, of Winter Garden, was at his first Rockville and excited to see Pantera. There was no self-injury apparent at Rockville but there was plenty of banging around at a mosh pit that formed as a band belted out numbers. “We exist to present hope and find help for anyone who's struggling with things like depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide,” she said.
