Speaker 1: Jolling us.
Speaker 2: It's an exciting day for the pod, extremely exciting, Joe.
Speaker 3: We had a very interesting ride here. It was really special.
Speaker 2: We partnered up with our friends at Hyundai for Hope
Speaker 2: on Wheels, which is an amazing initiative they've had going
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety eight, over three hundred hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: to support individuals living with pediatric cancer. It's and their families,
Speaker 2: the doctors, the researchers. A portion of every appurchase.
Speaker 3: Of a Hundai has gone to this initiative.
Speaker 2: And you know, I think for us as fathers, these
Speaker 2: kind of partnerships are are key, you know, ways in
Speaker 2: which we can really show some love to families, to
Speaker 2: individuals going through these tough moments in their lives. And
Speaker 2: we actually have three incredible warriors here.
Speaker 3: Today at the Piper Bell. Yeah, Eliza and Eliza's here
Speaker 3: front row. Welcome. Thank you so much, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. We're so happy. And I believe
Speaker 3: we met Belle. We met Bell before.
Speaker 1: So my mom hosted you all at saddle Back Eastern
Speaker 1: Church service back in like two thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: I was one years old, you're one years old when
Speaker 3: we met. What did you remember most from that experience.
Speaker 1: It was at the Angel Stadium and my mom hosted
Speaker 1: you all and then you guys saying it's a bitsy
Speaker 1: spider to me, which is absolutely crazy. So it is
Speaker 1: a full circle moment.
Speaker 3: To be here today. Wow.
Speaker 2: We let you know what, I think, that's the only
Speaker 2: time we've ever sung that spider.
Speaker 3: That's all we got. We have to pay for the
Speaker 3: song now to use it on the podcast. No we uh,
Speaker 3: that's probably the first time we've ever performed that song. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I love it. We're honored that you're here.
Speaker 4: To everyone here, all the warriors, thank you so much
Speaker 4: for spending your day with us, and we have a very.
Speaker 3: Special show for you today. Camp Rock is out.
Speaker 4: We are so excited to be introducing you to the
Speaker 4: new cast, the Camp Rock three.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh no, this is dangerous. My soundboard is
Speaker 2: soundboard is camp camp Rockified. But let's back it all
Speaker 2: the way up real quick. Before we get right into
Speaker 2: Camp Rock three, let's go to where the journey began
Speaker 2: with Disney as a whole for us connector but more.
Speaker 3: Specifically with Camp Rock.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Okay, So to really paint the picture, we have to
Speaker 2: go all the way back to the year two thousand
Speaker 2: and six. We had just moved from New York, New
Speaker 2: Jersey area to Los Angeles and one of our big
Speaker 2: first meetings was right here in this town that we're
Speaker 2: in right now, in Burbank, at the Disney Channel building.
Speaker 2: And they would basically give us these scripts for fake
Speaker 2: shows that just had funny bits for us to do.
Speaker 2: And Kevin, you actually found, yeah, one of our og
Speaker 2: auditions for the Disney Channel, and for whatever reason, because
Speaker 2: the audition was not very good, Nope, they saw enough
Speaker 2: promise in us that they kind of kept us in
Speaker 2: mind for different projects. And I remember specifically, we're on
Speaker 2: tour in seven early two thousand and seven. We called
Speaker 2: it the Marvelous Party Tour, which is really great, great name,
Speaker 2: and we were playing at six flags across the country
Speaker 2: and our father said, Hey, Disney has this project that
Speaker 2: they're putting together. They hope it'll become like the next
Speaker 2: high school musical, and they like Joe to audition.
Speaker 3: And so with this camera it's called a flip vid. Well,
Speaker 3: they also asked, They said, the audition is one song
Speaker 3: of your choosing and a dance as well. I didn't
Speaker 3: say exactly what kind of dance. We really need to
Speaker 3: find this clip though. We gotta find it.
Speaker 2: Basically, the audition was was shot so poorly, and May
Speaker 2: thought I'll be crushed it.
Speaker 4: We used the lamp in the hotel room but turned
Speaker 4: it like this to hold it like this, so that
Speaker 4: the whole was like a spotlight.
Speaker 3: That's as good as we got.
Speaker 2: And to be honest, I was panicked that basically Joe
Speaker 2: was going to go do this movie, become a big
Speaker 2: star on his own, and then the band would be over.
Speaker 2: But our dad had a different idea. Basically, he called
Speaker 2: and said, exactly, if you want Joe to be in
Speaker 2: this movie, then you got to include Nick and Kevin
Speaker 2: in some way. And so they literally wrote in our
Speaker 2: two characters in Nate and.
Speaker 3: Shane happened to be the other change. What's your character's name, Jason? Jason.
Speaker 3: We still don't know to this day if we're brothers
Speaker 3: in the movie or not. In camp nobody knows.
Speaker 2: In two the credits, at the end of the first one,
Speaker 2: it just says Nate and Jason. Yeah, no last name,
Speaker 2: no last name, So we don't know to this day.
Speaker 2: I think we can assume that we're related in the
Speaker 2: In the film, I think, cousins, have you ever watched
Speaker 2: the first one, the camp Rock?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Have I watched it? No, you've watched it. Of course,
Speaker 3: we watched it at the premiere. I think I will
Speaker 3: love watching my own work. But we watched the premiere,
Speaker 3: I remember, I Yeah, it's a It's interesting that they
Speaker 3: watched the dance part knowing that I'm not the greatest dancer,
Speaker 3: and they're like, we're still going to hire you, and
Speaker 3: you're still going to do a dance number.
Speaker 4: They saw something start the party saw something.
Speaker 3: Yes, starts at the body.
Speaker 2: Well, anyway, cut to eighteen years later, and here we
Speaker 2: are really of Camp Rock three, which we produced alongside
Speaker 2: our friends over at Disney and really got to do
Speaker 2: the thing that was most exciting for me on this project,
Speaker 2: which was putting together a group of absolutely you know,
Speaker 2: just incredibly talented young people to take the incredible the
Speaker 2: torch and uh kind of usher in a new generation
Speaker 2: of camp Rockers.
Speaker 3: And this cast is just amazing.
Speaker 2: In this fact, it's been incredible already just to see
Speaker 2: all of their their profiles and everything just exploding as

Speaker 2: stepping into to this role after having already been in
Speaker 2: so many beloved films with Disney and and and taking
Speaker 2: this on. Was there was there any pressure about the
Speaker 2: camp Rock franchise? Were you aware of it before you
Speaker 2: you signed on to.
Speaker 8: Do oh, one hundred percent?
Speaker 3: I was aware.
Speaker 8: I think that I've said this before.
Speaker 9: I think that the camp Rock franchise is like something
Speaker 9: that's just like automatically embedded into your childhood no matter what.
Speaker 8: I love that, and I ye take it.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 8: It's so great. And you told him to say that,
Speaker 8: Yeah he did.
Speaker 3: He paid me right before I came on exactly say

Speaker 9: But honestly, I just want to like say thank you
Speaker 9: to you guys for making it feel like there was
Speaker 9: no pressure, because it was like you guys could have

Speaker 9: thing and like have to do it. You guys have
Speaker 9: to But you guys gave us a space to create
Speaker 9: and make it our own in a way, and so
Speaker 9: I just want to say thank you to that and
Speaker 9: like make it made it feel like there was no pressure,
Speaker 9: but obviously there's the like, oh, shoot.
Speaker 8: We're making camp rock again, a little bit of pressure.

Speaker 2: And what's been so fun to see too is all
Speaker 2: the reaction online before the movie came out. You know,
Speaker 2: it's on Disney Plus when you can watch here, but
Speaker 2: people flipping out about the new songs, but also some
Speaker 2: of the songs that were a part of the original

Speaker 2: so great to see parents watching with their kids?
Speaker 3: It's full circle? So have your parents watched the movie?
Speaker 6: Of course?
Speaker 7: We're like such big fans, Like literally it was played
Speaker 7: all the time when I was growing up, Like every

Speaker 8: American Idol.
Speaker 3: She's but if you work on American Idle, now, oh cool,

Speaker 9: the singing world. She's like the goat, she's so chill.
Speaker 9: I love my mom.
Speaker 3: Was there ever, like American Idol dreams for yourself? Were

Speaker 9: a great voice. So it's like I'm just gonna let
Speaker 9: her do her thing. And then I went into the
Speaker 9: acting world, and then like the musical stuff started happening.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, shoot, does that mean that there's
Speaker 4: more independent music coming from you guys?
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, you can always definitely expect. I'm actually
Speaker 7: working on my album, my first album. Okay, it's crazy crazy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I've always like acting first, but I
Speaker 9: also think I just like I trust God's playing, like
Speaker 9: that's all I can do. And like if I think
Speaker 9: there's something so special about giving everything to God and
Speaker 9: just trusting him with everything, so like what happens happens.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. Cool, that's awesome, that's yeah,
Speaker 3: I love it. Well, we'll be excited for music from
Speaker 3: you then both of you.
Speaker 7: Exit.
Speaker 4: One thing you guys definitely can do better than we can, though,
Speaker 4: is dance.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's very impressive in the film.
Speaker 8: That's so sweet. Yeah, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7: The choreo for this movie, for Camp Brock three dude intense.
Speaker 8: Jamal was putting it going, like putting in extra hours.
Speaker 3: Process because ours was non existent.
Speaker 8: Our rearsal processes were very different. I mean mine, I
Speaker 8: was on tour. I was doing the world Big tour.
Speaker 3: That was happening last year. Yeah, I may have gone.
Speaker 8: You may have gone. I may have seen you tell.
Speaker 3: Everybody at home, and if they didn't, they don't know
Speaker 3: what you guys were talking about. What's the tour that
Speaker 3: you're talking about?
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I did.
Speaker 9: We're doing another tour together this coming summer and it's
Speaker 9: the World's Collide Tour.
Speaker 8: It's Descendants, Zombies and Camp Rock.
Speaker 9: That's this year. And then last year we did sen
Speaker 9: It's in zombies. But yeah, it was it was it
Speaker 9: was wild.
Speaker 3: Is it like zombies attack the camp and then like
Speaker 3: basically honestly like medieval Times a little bit, we're just.
Speaker 8: All battling on stage.
Speaker 2: We do need a Avengers style. I think Camp bractice
Speaker 2: in zombie movie.
Speaker 8: I think that would be sick Cross all like.
Speaker 2: But there's just one problem is that when you're in
Speaker 2: multiple franchises, we have to figure out a way to
Speaker 2: it's the multiverse.
Speaker 9: You know what if there was like a screenplay and
Speaker 9: it was like World's Glide and we had to do
Speaker 9: quick changes into different characters, that would be let's pitch.
Speaker 8: Let's pitch it.
Speaker 3: Come on, this is expensive, I know.
Speaker 8: At that Do you just have like the time of
Speaker 8: your life with that thing right there?
Speaker 3: I have just I was just like carry this stor
Speaker 3: I wish it worked like this in real life. It

Speaker 2: Some drama, class drama we got off track for So
Speaker 2: you were rehearsing while you were on tour.
Speaker 3: Yeah, playing double duty.
Speaker 9: Yeah. They had hired one of the dancers that were
Speaker 9: on tour, and Jamal was sending all the choreos. I
Speaker 9: was because I was obviously on tour during pre production.
Speaker 9: I wasn't able to make it out until we literally
Speaker 9: started filming.
Speaker 4: So then I was like, well, we ran into each
Speaker 4: other and I looked at him backstage he was They

Speaker 4: I'm not comfortable with it, but it was a great moment.
Speaker 4: You didn't feel so special, but you kind of looked
Speaker 4: at me and was like so, And I was like,
Speaker 4: obviously I knew that you had been cast in camera, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but none of the other cast of the tour, you know.

Speaker 11: No, Yeah, it's like camp is more important than ever
Speaker 11: now because that's where you make real connections and it's
Speaker 11: it's just a different time, a different world.
Speaker 3: So it really is.
Speaker 11: I love that that was in there, that we addressed
Speaker 11: that the importance of really relating and then they're disappointed,
Speaker 11: and then they're so happy at the end because they
Speaker 11: had real connection with real living people.
Speaker 5: Yeah, making memories.
Speaker 4: You know, do we actually take their phones away for
Speaker 4: the entire production?
Speaker 3: Though we did.
Speaker 5: Still guy, by the way, we haven't given it back yet.
Speaker 3: Y again. I guess for you, Maria like stepping back
Speaker 3: into a familiar role a new role, because I think
Speaker 3: we're just before you got out. We're trying to kind
Speaker 3: of understand you became the the person that runs Camp ro.
Speaker 11: That's right, Camp Director.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 11: I love that they gave me that arc that I
Speaker 11: started as a self sacrificing mom who wanted to make
Speaker 11: her her daughter's dreams come true and was willing to
Speaker 11: work in the kitchen and for a discounted rate. You're
Speaker 11: going to Camp Rock the famous line. And then I
Speaker 11: come back and we're still working. And then even though
Speaker 11: Mitchie is now a big superstar like Demi, she still
Speaker 11: cares about the place where dreams came true. It's not
Speaker 11: just about her kids. She wants to be there for
Speaker 11: other kids. That's so beautiful and I love as a
Speaker 11: real mom. I love to see other moms that love
Speaker 11: on all kids, not just their own. I always would
Speaker 11: notice that when a mom would love, support and encourage
Speaker 11: my child, it's just a beautiful thing. So I love
Speaker 11: that about Connie. I love being Connie.
Speaker 8: I love seeing you guys again.
Speaker 11: So I got a real.
Speaker 4: Scene you went there on day one, Like when we
Speaker 4: showed up and you were standing on the Final Jam
Speaker 4: Final Jam stage at on the Lake, it was just like, Okay.
Speaker 3: That was kind of emotional. I remember like it was weird,
Speaker 3: even though it was a different location. I mean, technically
Speaker 3: we shot the first one somewhere else, but it was
Speaker 3: like this wave of you know, after reading the script
Speaker 3: and being a part of the production, thinking of all
Speaker 3: the things we're gonna do, and meeting the cast, and
Speaker 3: then once we saw you up there, I was like,
Speaker 3: oh man, that was all brought back to us. It
Speaker 3: was really great and obviously so awesome Cherry. Having a
Speaker 3: part of this has been a blast. Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 3: every dysfunctional band needs a manager.
Speaker 5: Listen, Mark is hanging on by a thread. You know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, She's two phones, two coffees. Am I
Speaker 5: even acting? But it was such a delight, honestly just
Speaker 5: playing with all of you, especially that first day, because
Speaker 5: right now people are craving that nostalgia. They want to
Speaker 5: feel good and then they want to go back to
Speaker 5: like a really just joyous time. And I feel like
Speaker 5: this movie is really going to deliver, and it's so cinematic,
Speaker 5: it's elevated. Ronica Rodriguez shout out to our director.
Speaker 3: Who you've been longtime friends with.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, we met at Funnier die in twenty seventy.
Speaker 3: So that's how we actually got you, got I got it,
Speaker 3: got ye.
Speaker 5: No. But honestly, we've just been like creative soul sisters
Speaker 5: on this journey. So to be able to you know,
Speaker 5: come alive through Camp Rock three is a dream come true.
Speaker 11: I knew we were in good hands. Yeah, And when
Speaker 11: I saw you guys, the same thing happened to me
Speaker 11: where I got a little like because you're all daddy's
Speaker 11: now too, your dad, So I'm like, wait, these guys
Speaker 11: were teenagers and I and I noticed that we all
Speaker 11: have girls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're all girl dad.
Speaker 2: So far through the second movie, I think your your
Speaker 2: daughters were tiny, I mean were they were my daughter's
Speaker 2: age now I think.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's wild.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was so And I remember how sweet you
Speaker 11: guys were to my little girls, who are now Bridges
Speaker 11: twenty three and Madeline's going to be twenty one, crazy
Speaker 11: and it's just wild. Were so sweet to them, not
Speaker 11: just their teen fans, but even their little fans.
Speaker 3: You you encouraged her and what.
Speaker 11: To sing because she's a singer. And I remember Bridget
Speaker 11: interrupted an interview you did, and.
Speaker 3: You were so sweet to her. You weren't like, who's
Speaker 3: this kid.
Speaker 11: In my way? He wasn't like that at all.
Speaker 3: He was like some character.
Speaker 11: Oh you were you were great for crying out loud,
Speaker 11: this is part of my act.
Speaker 3: Well, it's been so fun obviously to be to watch
Speaker 3: leaving this young new gen And I'm curious, like for you, Maria,
Speaker 3: like being on set, did you find yourself seeing any
Speaker 3: similarities to the original casts. Oh yeah, they were like,
Speaker 3: oh I see it. I see talent totally.
Speaker 11: I mean, if Disney knows something, it's how to find
Speaker 11: young talent. And it was us amazing, amazing, Yes, of
Speaker 11: course I see Demi and Leamani and.
Speaker 2: I saw.
Speaker 11: I think they actually had even more characters have their
Speaker 11: own little storyline thanks to Edie's script, which is terrific.
Speaker 11: And I love that because there's a little bit of
Speaker 11: something and every character that I think a lot of
Speaker 11: young people will identify with, you know, those those struggles
Speaker 11: that are so important to us during that developmental stage
Speaker 11: and everything matters so much.
Speaker 3: My crush, my career, right you know. Yeah, and uh I.
Speaker 5: Didn't reading my diary.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The dynamics now with the friendships and the chemistry, everyone
Speaker 5: is like we love each other honestly, did.
Speaker 11: You guys know when you did it how much it
Speaker 11: was going to be loved? Did you get a sense at.
Speaker 3: All that your big I think movie Break was going
Speaker 3: to be such a hit. I mean, we knew, we
Speaker 3: had no idea. I mean we obviously we were we
Speaker 3: were touring at the time. I mean when Camp ro
Speaker 3: was being made, kind of took a break from touring
Speaker 3: for the first time in a couple of years. And
Speaker 3: there wasn't as much social media when we first started
Speaker 3: with camp Rockpace, So it was just kind of bubbling
Speaker 3: in the States because Disney started playing our music videos
Speaker 3: and Diney Channel, and so by the time the movie
Speaker 3: came out, it was the reception was just wild, and
Speaker 3: it was an interesting like high school class because that
Speaker 3: was Zach and Vanessa in the high school musical cast.
Speaker 3: Zach and Cody was a popular show at the time.
Speaker 3: Trying to think there's and it's just there's so many great,
Speaker 3: kind of amazing vocalists and dancers and singers. It's really wild.
Speaker 3: So to answer your question, were we had no idea?
Speaker 11: No? Do you think that's why you guys were so
Speaker 11: good because you were so relaxed and having fun.
Speaker 3: I think we just didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 3: We didn't any other way.
Speaker 2: I still don't, but I think, you know, the moment
Speaker 2: we kind of realized that Disney really understands how to
Speaker 2: how to to do a global event was after the
Speaker 2: second movie came out. We were we were touring in
Speaker 2: parts of the world where English wasn't the first language
Speaker 2: and they would know a majority of our songs as
Speaker 2: the Jonas Brothers, but when we would go into the
Speaker 2: camp Rock songs, the would know every single word because
Speaker 2: they've been, you know, learning English in a lot of
Speaker 2: ways because of it is so cool, or you know,
Speaker 2: just consuming it into different ways.
Speaker 3: And that was a really powerful thing for us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's how far the reaches.
Speaker 5: Yeah, camp Rock is a universal language. Seriously, Like you
Speaker 5: can feel the impact and even you know, going to
Speaker 5: your concert in Vancouver, oh so much to the fans
Speaker 5: and to see you three like operate with so much gratitude,
Speaker 5: and you know, it really was touching, touching the witness.
Speaker 3: It was a fun show.
Speaker 2: People don't know, listen, we're watching the pot We were
Speaker 2: shooting in Vancouver Camp Rock three, and and it just
Speaker 2: so happened that we also had a concert run that
Speaker 2: same time.
Speaker 5: In Vancouver.
Speaker 3: Appropriately, and that nine we had m G K Out especially,
Speaker 3: which was great. It's become just a great friend of ours.
Speaker 3: Had you been to a show before that, I have yours.
Speaker 5: I've been to Ara, I have not, and I highly
Speaker 5: recommend it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was great the first timer,
Speaker 5: certainly not the last, but yeah, it was just so
Speaker 5: cool to see how highly anticipated this film is because
Speaker 5: y'all like did a little shout out when you're on
Speaker 5: stage and everyone went wild. And I even remember the
Speaker 5: first day when we were filming that that scene of
Speaker 5: Connie on the stage. There were fans like one hundred
Speaker 5: yards away that found out where we were filming, and
Speaker 5: I had no idea, but there were these videos of
Speaker 5: us like zoomed in, like super pixelated, and everyone thought
Speaker 5: I was Demi because of the dark hair videos and
Speaker 5: like people were like, it's Demi and Jonas brothers because
Speaker 5: I had a snatch phony and what an honor.
Speaker 3: And then I signed up the graphs.
Speaker 5: But it was just so surreal, you know, you see
Speaker 5: how major this love.
Speaker 4: That was really fun to see after the fact that
Speaker 4: we were on set, like they had all those those
Speaker 4: happens just in that area and people were just walking
Speaker 4: through the set as if it was like real life camp.
Speaker 3: If you saw it online, it was it's.
Speaker 8: Like paparazzi on a canoe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just like hanging out. Sure.
Speaker 2: You in the clip we showed, you mentioned the songs
Speaker 2: really catchy and obviously you're in character. But do you
Speaker 2: have a favorite song from Camp Brog.
Speaker 8: Three from Camp Rock three?
Speaker 5: Honey? You know what, Lark got to be a part
Speaker 5: of a lot without spoiling too much, just with the challenges,
Speaker 5: you know, So play my music was stuck in my head,
Speaker 5: which is one of my favorite.
Speaker 3: Things classic, My favorite things to see right now is
Speaker 3: that people are some of the songs are being released
Speaker 3: all the time and play my music, which is the
Speaker 3: audition scene out of context. You don't know what's happening, right,
Speaker 3: It's very funny. Yeah, and it's kind of like we
Speaker 3: I like, I love it because we're kind of trolling
Speaker 3: every the audience a little bit of rage bait. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's rage bait. It's fun to watch the people a prankankrank, Well,
Speaker 3: it's a break song. I'm sorry you're saying, so play.
Speaker 5: My music, I mean yeah, and also high key changing
Speaker 5: Kevin Jonas, thank you. It's brilliant.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant.
Speaker 5: Emotional, okay, therapeutic, it is, yeah, very much, just real
Speaker 5: quick as a little side side dish.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Facts. Well, the pot we always have
Speaker 3: our guests participate in the fun little game with that
Speaker 3: we have here. We have a bowl in front of us.
Speaker 3: There's bold questions if you're willing to protect there all
Speaker 3: we don't know what they say. We haven't written them.
Speaker 2: So if you don't like it, and then it's not
Speaker 2: on us, okay, most.
Speaker 5: Grab on all right, Hey, stay vigilant. That's a quote
Speaker 5: from the movie that should be Merch. Is my family here?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they are.
Speaker 5: My mom's in the audience now visiting from saying hello, Hi, Hi, welcome.
Speaker 5: We rolled deep around here.
Speaker 3: Okay, what you got right?
Speaker 8: You go first?
Speaker 11: Which camp rock song are you singing first? At karaoke? Well,
Speaker 11: it used to be too cool for you? Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 3: The older shoulder.
Speaker 11: So now it has to be Leamani's current hit. Oh
Speaker 11: what a song, because I can't get that out of
Speaker 11: my head.
Speaker 3: It's so good all over.
Speaker 5: They're just these superstars back games working with them, like,
Speaker 5: aren't you so inspired, like the future is.
Speaker 11: Bright totally, you know, totally. And they're good kids.
Speaker 5: So good, most important, gooder than me, that's for sure,
Speaker 5: much better grammar. Yeah, if someone handed you the ox
Speaker 5: Court on a bus ride to camp, what's the first
Speaker 5: song you're playing? Camp?

Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: While putting this film together alongside our partner Spencer bermant At,
Speaker 2: powered by Jonas, the casting process was was really fun, incredible,
Speaker 2: you know, because all of the talent we were seeing
Speaker 2: we were phenomenal, and there were there was obviously a
Speaker 2: handful that that were just perfect for these roles, and
Speaker 2: and some some people that we actually have some you know,
Speaker 2: some mutual friends of it and different things, and it's
Speaker 2: all just made sense, came together kind of beautifully. And
Speaker 2: and these these performers have I think, you know, a
Speaker 2: very promising future.

Speaker 3: guys been looking forward today? Quite a bit.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I feel like this has been the most look
Speaker 12: forward thing for a lot of us. Like, even in
Speaker 12: the early stages of filming, we were like, what are
Speaker 12: you looking forward to? What are you excited for? And
Speaker 12: a lot of us were just like, I'm excited for
Speaker 12: the premiere. So today's it's a big day.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I definitely think that was one of the most
Speaker 13: exciting days that we were looking forward to and for
Speaker 13: everybody to see the movie and everything.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we're just finally Well, Leo me were reading
Speaker 3: this note and I I was so excited because we're like,
Speaker 3: we got to talk about this, so please talk about
Speaker 3: this jaguar experience because I'm reading this. Wow, we spent
Speaker 3: ten months in the jungles of Mexico bonding with the jaguars.
Speaker 12: That correct.
Speaker 13: Yeah, actually I was not expecting for that to be
Speaker 13: brought up here, but it's the first.
Speaker 3: Thing in my notes. And enough about cam Rock. That's
Speaker 3: so cool. Yeah.
Speaker 13: When I was like about thirteen years old, I did
Speaker 13: this movie called Autumn and the Black Jaguar, and I
Speaker 13: imprinted with these two jaguars and they were about this
Speaker 13: big when I met them, and I didn't really act
Speaker 13: for eight months. I kind of just stayed in the
Speaker 13: jungles of Mexico, and I trained with them and I
Speaker 13: acted as their like mother almost and I worked with
Speaker 13: animal wranglers and I got to watch them grow up
Speaker 13: and then finally when they hit about eight months, they
Speaker 13: were pretty much fully grown and we got to film
Speaker 13: the movie with them.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 3: So cool. Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 13: Quite the experience and very different going to Disney after this,
Speaker 13: I would say, yeah, exactly, I had to train and
Speaker 13: wrangle these boys.
Speaker 3: So yeah, moving this way, Hudson. This is your first
Speaker 3: acting debut. Correct, It is a great kid, great job,
Speaker 3: thank you. Yeah, And I guess it's you're not that
Speaker 3: off like when it comes to acting in your family. Obviously,
Speaker 3: it's long, beautiful credits in front of you. What is
Speaker 3: that like me growing up at home? Do you ever
Speaker 3: think acting was gonna be something you'd walk into or
Speaker 3: is this kind of happened? It all just kind of happened.
Speaker 12: And I feel my parents they're both obviously my dad
Speaker 12: is in film and television, but just as himself and
Speaker 12: more reality stuff, and my mom's an incredible actor. But
Speaker 12: it was never set out for me to become an actor.
Speaker 12: I never even knew I wanted to do it. I
Speaker 12: just saw like people from her management agency. They were like,
Speaker 12: we'd love Hudson audition because I've always done music. I've
Speaker 12: always played the guitar, I've always sung. They're like, we
Speaker 12: wanted to audition for stuff and a lot of Disney musicals,
Speaker 12: and I was always like, Nah, not for me. I
Speaker 12: don't really want to. It's not really my style, not
Speaker 12: my thing. And then they sent over Camp Rock and
Speaker 12: like one other thing, and I'm like, oh, these are
Speaker 12: so cool. I remember I watched Camp Rock as a kid, like,
Speaker 12: you know, I'll audition for this one. I auditioned for
Speaker 12: three roles, Fletch, Cliff, and DESSI. I ended up with
Speaker 12: my old DESI. But yeah, it's pretty insane to be
Speaker 12: here at least a little over year. It's like three
Speaker 12: hundred and seventy days after this all started. But it's insane. Wow,
Speaker 12: And who's counting?
Speaker 3: That's cool, that's well, congrats, that's really exciting. And Casey,
Speaker 3: I guess you know you're no stranger to a stage. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: tell us about that experience for you because you've done
Speaker 3: a lot of theater performances.
Speaker 8: Correct.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so back when I was around like four years old.
Speaker 10: I started drumming and I really fell in love with music,
Speaker 10: and I thought that was what I was gonna do
Speaker 10: for like my whole life. I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 10: go on tour. I'm gonna be a drummer of a
Speaker 10: metal band. My dad got me into metal and that
Speaker 10: was one of my thing when I was a kid.
Speaker 3: Shout out, dad, I like that, what kind of metal?
Speaker 3: Any artists? You can say thing?
Speaker 10: I went my first concert. I went to Iron Maiden
Speaker 10: and I was six seven something like that. And then
Speaker 10: I went and saw a Slipknot and I saw Mu Suga,
Speaker 10: Swedish metal band.
Speaker 8: So great, My favorite drummer is part of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you play the drums in this, in this,
Speaker 4: in this movie as well? Yeah, is that something that
Speaker 4: you've always had a passion for.
Speaker 10: I couldn't really like vision my life without it, Like
Speaker 10: I started playing. My dad actually before I was born,
Speaker 10: he bought a drum set because he's like, I need
Speaker 10: a hobby to pick up. So you bought this electric
Speaker 10: remode like drum kits. He bought this and over he
Speaker 10: didn't he never played it, but he had sticks there.
Speaker 10: And when I was two years old, I just picked
Speaker 10: them up started playing, and once I was four, I
Speaker 10: was playing with an instructor. And then at six I
Speaker 10: started playing shows like local shows, which brought me to
Speaker 10: like a nice band program in Vancouver where I got
Speaker 10: to tour around Vancouver and play a lot of really
Speaker 10: cool events. And that brought me to Camp Rock and
Speaker 10: to doing some community theater too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very cool, so cool. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah you were you guys, were you in school during production?
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, we were doing online or homeschool, but we
Speaker 13: were all in school together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that was the thing when we were shooting
Speaker 2: our Camp Rocks. Back the day we were homeschool, we
Speaker 2: were touring, so we never really like studied with other people.
Speaker 2: And then I remember feeling so excited that I was
Speaker 2: suddenly in the classroom with all my castmates, actually doing school.
Speaker 3: And it's the only thing that made having to do
Speaker 3: school while you're working a positive experience, first experience for
Speaker 3: in a while for us.
Speaker 2: But by the second movie, I was already done with school,
Speaker 2: so I didn't I didn't to do that again. But
Speaker 2: you guys are all in the classroom together, then you're
Speaker 2: on set together. You had to become I think, pretty close,
Speaker 2: pretty fast, and it seemed at least observing from the
Speaker 2: time we were on set, like, you guys all genuinely
Speaker 2: got along and had a good rapport. What was that
Speaker 2: experience like, And are you guys staying in touch? Is
Speaker 2: the is the group chat staying alive?
Speaker 6: Yeah, the group chat. You were actually all on FaceTime
Speaker 6: this morning in the group chat. But I think school
Speaker 6: was like Okay, I'm so sorry, but I think.
Speaker 13: School was one of the places where we really bonded
Speaker 13: the most and where the least school work might have happened.
Speaker 10: I had to drop out of French because of school,
Speaker 10: Like I couldn't like, I couldn't keep up.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 6: We were just getting yelled at, I think for talking
Speaker 6: so much.
Speaker 3: But that happened making friends.
Speaker 6: It's fun. It's too fun.
Speaker 13: We're like shooting a scene and then two seconds later,
Speaker 13: like you guys got to go to school. I'm like,
Speaker 13: I'm still in the mode of camp rock and I
Speaker 13: don't want to be learning in that camp.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, there was obviously a ton of music in
Speaker 2: the movie on top of school and acting. In the scenes,
Speaker 2: you guys had a pretty intense rehearsal schedule, and this
Speaker 2: is your first time singing and dancing and acting you
Speaker 2: know on screen? What were the dance rehearsals like stressful?
Speaker 2: Do you you guys enjoy that process.
Speaker 12: I have never danced before my entire life. I didn't
Speaker 12: know I was gonna dance going to Camp Rock.
Speaker 3: I had already.
Speaker 12: I already got it on the plane in my first day.
Speaker 12: They were like, you're gonna go to dance rehearsals tomorrow,
Speaker 12: And I was like, I think you're mistaken for somebody
Speaker 12: else in the cast because I don't. I don't like
Speaker 12: to dance, like that's not my thing. And I had
Speaker 12: to relearn how to play the piano alongside with that,
Speaker 12: and I had to kind of learn how to act
Speaker 12: and be in a movie and all this stuff at once.
Speaker 3: Kind of really got put into Camp Rock.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I probably to workshops. Yeah, it was, but I
Speaker 12: had a lot of fun. I was around really supportive
Speaker 12: people who helped me through it. Jamal and Kai, who
Speaker 12: are the choreographer is on Camp Rock. They killed it
Speaker 12: and I'm so thankful that they were there. I had
Speaker 12: a lot of fun.
Speaker 13: I think the prep was, honestly such a great experience
Speaker 13: for us, not just because obviously we have to prep
Speaker 13: for the movie doing dances, but I think getting thrown
Speaker 13: into such a huge project, we got to bond ahead
Speaker 13: of time and really get into the camp Rock mode
Speaker 13: before we actually had to shoot.
Speaker 6: So I think it was about a month of prep
Speaker 6: that we had.
Speaker 13: And yeah, I mean learning the dances was just so fun,
Speaker 13: got really in shape, I would say, I remember the
Speaker 13: first day.
Speaker 6: I think we had like dance rehearsals together. Yeah, And
Speaker 6: I remember I also had to learn how to play
Speaker 6: the cello, which was very challenging.
Speaker 3: But a lot to learn so quick too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but it helped.
Speaker 13: Me get more into the mode of camp Rock and
Speaker 13: the mode of my character. So I'm really grateful for that.
Speaker 10: That's awesome, I think, Yeah, sam as Hudson, I never
Speaker 10: knew I was going to be dancing.

Speaker 12: Take it from conye my camp Come on, Okay.
Speaker 13: My question is if you had to add one ridiculous

Speaker 13: maybe like a bully training.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, bully training. Answer though, bully training.
Speaker 3: That's good, that's called.
Speaker 4: Yeah, full disclosure. My my girls watched Camp Rock. We

Speaker 2: went to camp.
Speaker 3: Most of them, Well, this is how old we were

Speaker 2: with it and resonated with it when they were in
Speaker 2: their teens or when they were kids who now probably
Speaker 2: have kids of their own, and those parents that watched
Speaker 2: it with them back then now grandparents. It should be
Speaker 2: something that the whole family can joy and I think
Speaker 2: for us as we step into this kind of chapter
Speaker 2: of our life and journey teaming up with Disney again

Speaker 2: we can just bring some joy into people's lives and
