Bo Burnham reveals how he found the perfect actress to play the lead in the coming-of-age drama Eighth Grade, which he wrote and directed. He says Elsie Fisher, who voiced Agnes in the Despicable Me movies, was his first and only choice, because she was almost exactly as he'd pictured Kayla, the awkward girl who makes YouTube self-help videos that no one watches. Interview host: Alexandra Heilbron. Location: Toronto.
