The Knockturnal: The Social Ones is your first feature film. How exactly did all three of you meet and what led you all to decide to take on such a huge endeavor?

The Knockturnal: Laura, you wrote and directed The Social Ones and The New Potato features a lot of hilarious skits. But did you find writing skits versus writing an entire movie to be more challenging? What was your experience?

Laura Kosann

The Knockturnal: The Social Ones is a humorous commentary on human beings’ unhealthy relationship with social media. How do you think this movie and your online lifestyle magazine, The New Potato, will help to redefine and reshape people’s connection to the online world in a more positive way?

Laura Kosann:

Danielle Kosann:

The Knockturnal: The funniest part about The Social Ones was watching how neurotic and obsessive all those online celebrities were. But do you think social media makes humans like this or were we already like this in some capacity? Is social media just a reflection of human beings in our most concentrated form?

Danielle Kosann:

The Knockturnal: I think the greatest thing about The Social Ones is that it was written, directed, and produced by women. In what ways do you think more female-led projects will change the landscape of filmmaking and change the future of creative endeavors in general? What differences do you notice working with a team that is mostly women compared to working with a team that is run by men?
