Camila Mendes shared show she watched to prepare for ‘Idiotka’
Camila Mendes binged-watch HBO’s Project Runway before taking on her role as reality TV producer.
At the New York City premiere of her upcoming comedy movie, Idiotka, the actress said that HBO’s show became her ultimate lesson for her new role.
“But also, the one that we kept referencing for this was The Hype,” Mendes told PEOPLE, referring to the streetwear competition series. “I watched that one quite a bit, ’cause, tonally, it felt like this is more DIY reality.”
Mendes added that they were at the forefront of reality television, explaining that they were aiming to approach things in a new and distinctive way.
She noted that this direction closely reflected Nicol’s character, emphasising that theirs was not a conventional, formulaic fashion show but something designed to stand apart from the rest.
Mendes also talked to the participants of fashion competition shows streamed in the past. She noted that many of the contestants have mentioned having “crazy experiences,” and realized that producers would be their “best friend,” before eventually becoming “kind of manipulative.”
With all the real-life lessons combined, Mendes is prepared to star in Idiotka, coming out in theaters on Friday, Feb. 27.
