"Pitch Perfect 3" Director Trish Sie Talks Girl Power in Hollywood
The Barden Bellas are back for “Pitch Perfect 3”, and the film’s director joined Cheddar to share her excitement about being at the helm of such a strong, female-led cast.
“Women out there are watching this,” said Trish Sie. “All of us on set are having such a good time: there’s so much estrogen flowing, it was like … champagne, estrogen!”
The director, who also worked on “Step Up: All In,” says that, at a time when women in Hollywood are standing up against sexual harassment, it “feels so good” to see them help each other on-screen. She noted that the cast of “Pitch Perfect 3” also has a good relationship off-screen, which helps with chemistry.
Women are standing up for each other throughout Hollywood. Many are reportedly planning to wear black to the upcoming 74th Golden Globes Awards as a protest of the rampant sexual misconduct in the industry.
Sie told Cheddar that having a majority-female cast allowed the group to feel safe and take risks.
“There’s like a safety in that, we can all be so much more playful in a way,” she said.
