Cast and Creator Reactions
Speaking about Off Campus, actor Antonio Cipriano said:
“This show touches on so many different topics that are very personal to a lot of people and people see themselves in the characters, and it’s so cool to be a part of something like that…It’s an important show, it’s an honor to be a part of.”
The Love Hypothesis star Tom Bateman reflected on the project, saying:
“I fell in love with this story. I love it so much and am really proud of what everyone did. I just want everyone to walk away with it with the love I did.”
His co-star Lili Reinhart added:
“I just really fell in love with Olive and Adam as I read the script and as I read the book. I thought they were so charming. It’s not exactly an enemies to lovers trope because they’re never quite enemies, they’re just extremely opposite and that was obviously fun to play.”
Meanwhile, Lana Condor described filming The Devil’s Mouth as an intense experience:
“I really wanted to do something that challenged me and pushed me out of my comfort zone to see if I was strong enough to do it. I didn’t know if I was able to pull it off. I wanted to be challenged. It was the opposite of a vacation. I was terrified for my life all day long.”
Amazon Music Lounge Adds Live Entertainment

The Amazon Music Lounge offered attendees another way to engage with the featured stories.
Actor and singer Asha Banks performed an acoustic set featuring songs connected to My Fault: London, Your Fault: London and Off Campus. Fans also explored curated playlists, podcasts and audiobooks tied to various Obsessed Fest properties through interactive listening stations.
Later in the day, Canadian rock band The Beaches surprised attendees with a live performance of their viral song “Edge of the Earth,” which appears in Off Campus.
