Sofia Carson on how she used the quarantine for "Songbird" 3:33
(CNN Spanish) -
A reality that inspires a fiction.
That's the theme of the STX Entertainment movie "Songbird," which premiered last Friday.
The film, starring Sofia Carson and KJ Apa, shows the world under the yoke of another pandemic, in this case covid-23.
And contrary to what many may think, the production talks about love and how this visceral feeling leads you to make decisions that will change the course of the life of the person you most appreciate in your life.
"Songbird": the plot
And precisely his personal experience with the coronavirus is something that inspired Carson to play his character, Sara García.
«Everything Sara was going through, all her fears, her thoughts ... Obviously it is a work of fiction in the future, she is at greater risk than we are.
But the fear existed, we are all afraid, all our thoughts are like so confused, "the actress told Zona Pop CNN in an interview last week.

“I channeled all that into Sara and I put my heart into her character.
Everything we felt was so real, because we are living it as people too.
So it was an amazing artist experience.
To imitate life at the same time we live it, "he adds.
What was it like producing "Songbird" during the pandemic?
"Songbird" was filmed in July in Los Angeles, during the restrictions due to the coronavirus, something that led its production to adapt ways of working to reduce the risks of contagion.
The tape was recorded with iPhones, GoPros, and security cameras.
There were no major costume or makeup changes and it had a small team of people.
“The production created a new way of creating cinema, with extraordinary security protocols.
It was a very limited set, for a Michael Bay production it was almost like an independent film.
Bay produced the film and is known for his work in such films as "The Transformers," "Armageddon," "A Quiet Place," "The Purge," among others.
Carson compares her experience on this shoot to performing live theater, something that enriches her, she adds, in her career.
The tape is available in video on demand, or VOD in English, through platforms such as Amazon, YouTube, Apple TV or Google Play.
According to Variety magazine, "Songbird" will have a premiere in theaters in Japan.
