We really all came back for her in a way that I know was incredibly meaningful to her.

And to this day she still talks about it.”

“It just destroyed me on that first phone call,” Garner says.

“There’re some ideas in the movie that all of us yearn for,” Levy adds.

“Forgiveness of your parents through understanding your parents, and making peace with your former self.

All of us have been that kid wondering if everything’s going to be okay.

What a dream that would be.

So, this movie got to explore a lot of what I think are like collective human what-ifs.”

The Adam Projectpremieres on Netflix this Friday.
