The Sitdown: Alana Haim on how teamwork made 'Licorice Pizza' dream work

If Alana Haim's name sounds familiar, that's because she came to fame alongside her sisters in the singing group that bears the family name: Haim.

She has received broad recognition and much acclaim for her first film role, in "Licorice Pizza," which came about after the director of the group's videos decided to write a script for a feature film with her in mind.

This, despite the fact she'd never acted before.

In this episode of "The Sitdown," Sandy talks to Haim about her high-profile cinema debut, and she explains why it was such a success.
