The blinding flashbulbs of the premiere give way to the muted, intimate light of the interview corner. I sit pressed between Owen Cooper and Faye Marsay, my posture rigidly correct, my fingers tightly interlaced. The interviewer's voice drones on about school schedules, gliding past my subtle attempts to join in. I offer a practiced, polite smile, then let myself recede into the background as the microphone swings decisively toward Owen. The camera lenses seem to look right through me. "So, Owen, when do you go back to school?" the interviewer asks, angling the mic toward him. I remain silent, invisible within the shot.
