Important to not take ourselves too seriously: Trish Sie

Los Angeles Dec 23 (IANS) "Pitch Perfect 3" director Trish Sie feels the world has become a dark place right now so people should try to not take themselves seriously.

"I think it s important to not take ourselves too seriously both as human beings and women. The world is kind of a dark place right now (through ‘Pitch Perfect 3 ) we wanted to create something that was a fairy tale and an escape " Sie told variety.com.

"Putting a darker subversive edge on things feels true to what women are feeling right now. If things got too sweet without a little bit of salt thrown on top they felt gooey.

"So the writers and I would make notes and say ‘Well that felt quicksandy and put a joke -- some off-colour silly joke to keep things from getting mired in sappiness " she added.

"Pitch Perfect 3" which released on Friday features Anna Kendrick Rebel Wilson and Hailee Steinfeld.
