Anya opened up about working with the successful Oscar-nominated writer and director, admitting that Wright “loves cinema. He loves any art form. It’s so fun to talk music with him. He just knows everything. I don’t know how he fits it all in his head. I loved it. As a dancer, he’s big on choreography, and things happen on beats.”
