High School is a major full-circle moment for Clea Duvall
caught up with Duvall to discuss the challenges behind making this series and why the show means so much to her.has such a specific sense of space when it comes to the show's '90s aesthetic. Can you talk me through the challenges of creating that, and why it's so integral to the show?
I grew up in the '90s as a queer person, and I still haven't seen those specific queer teen experiences represented this specifically on screen, especially when it comes to female-led queerness. And because of the tone and the pace and what I wanted it to be, I didn't want to rush through the story. You want to take your time. You really want to get to know these people so that by the time they do find a guitar and start playing music, they're real people, and it doesn't just feel like,"Oh, we're watching Tegan and Sara."
Tegan and Sara would sign off on the outlines just to make sure there was nothing in the scripts that they didn't want out there. We wanted to be very respectful of their story. And they were like,"We don't want her to just kick them out without knowing where they're going, because it makes her seem like a bad mom."So we landed on this, that she's taken them to their dad's house.
It's almost easier to disagree with someone who you only have a working relationship with, you know? Because we're not only trying to preserve the integrity of the story but also preserve our friendship.You're coming at it from very different perspectives, like you're making the show and come from a film background whereas they’re coming at it from:"This is our lives."
