There are some upbeat moments where she is partying with friends, including Leonardo DiCaprio receiving exciting voicemails from Mark Wahlberg experiencing young love (with House of Pain’s Danny Boy O’Connor’ and Charlie Sheen, for example) or traveling cross-country to settle into a new life in New York. The construction of the documentary follows Frye’s journey down an almost rabbit hole-esque trip down memory lane. Even when I was starting my interviews with my friends, the focus was not on me,” Frye says.Īs the process went on, though, it “became me letting go of my own privacy, and the realization of how important each of our stories is,” she continues, noting that rediscovering the tapes was akin to opening “Pandora’s Box.” The original idea was that it was going to be about this last decade of privacy, pre-internet and social media. “When I started this process I tried to make the documentary about everyone but me. In doing so, the first thing Frye thought about was how she was a part of the last generation to have privacy, and this became the genesis for her new documentary “ Kid 90.” And Frye did that, but she also, for the first time, really started to dig into her old documents, from audio and video tapes to diaries and photographs - items that could provide hard facts.
Most people in that situation might call up old friends and ask them how they remembered something happening, understanding that the answer might not be 100% true because each person’s perspective would color the recollection. But four years ago things changed.Īround that time, Frye tells Variety, she began to question if the way she remembered certain moments and events from her life really happened the WAY she remembered them. As the reality television genre began to take root in the industry, Frye’s recordings were kept just for her, “locked away” for more than two decades. At only 8-years-old Soleil Moon Frye picked up millions of fans and inspired countless other kids through her titular leading role in NBC sitcom “Punky Brewster.” She was starting to grow up around cameras, and when that show came to an end three and a half years later, while she continued to act, she also picked up an audio recorder and eventually a video camera to begin documenting everything from fun with her celebrity friends at theme parks to intimate conversations and musings on life.
