We chat with HighSchool co-author and real-life subject Tegan Quin (of teganandsara) and star Seazynn Gilliland about the show's rocking soundtrack and playing a real person:
Go back in time and up to the Great White North to learn about indie pop duo Tegan and Sara with High School. Based on their memoir of the same name, the coming-of-age series chronicles their teenage years living in Alberta, Canada, discovering their joint passion for music and embracing their queer identities.
Tegan Quin: Well, Clea read an early version before it got published, and just came to us and was like, "Don't sell your story, if you're going to try to make this into something, do it with me." We've been friends forever, so we really trusted her, I didn't think we'd ever get it done, everyone's like, "It's so hard to get a show made," and I was like, "We'll never do it, but it'll just be a fun project with Clea.
Tegan Quin: You can admit that once you talked to us on Zoom, you were also like, "Man, they seem so cool. I want to hang out with them." There you go, that's the ultimate sell. Seazynn, what was it like for you to embody someone who is working on the project with you? Tegan Quin: Yeah, obviously, we've all bonded over, I mean, it was so great to have two queer women from the same era in the driver's seat. Clea and Laura were really awesome, so collaborative with us about the music and our music supervisor is just wonderful. The big thing was like, we wanted all the big classics, of course, we needed Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana, and I wrote letters, the first draft of what it was going to cost to get the music we wanted was absurd.
Seazynn Gilliland: I actually do have a playlist of '90s songs, and it was from the show, for the reason that I have it. It wasn't like for any reason to get ready for anything, I don't exactly know why, but I have the playlist on my phone. That's as far as I can say, I don't know why, and I don't know what it's for, I know it's from High School. [Chuckles]
