Can you walk us through your casting process and the importance of authenticity, especially when telling a story like this? Why was it important to find a trans actor for this story?: I would never consider directing a trans movie and not directing a trans character. That’s non-negotiable. Our production company Paperclip, LTD was on board with that from the beginning and our casting director, Russell Boast, was incredible.
What discussions did you have about framing Gossamer and Tate, and what input did Ava have with regards to being a trans cinematographer?: Establishing their chemistry was fun. We were shooting outside New Orleans and on off-days, we had Jackson and Alexandra spend time together. They’d go and be tourists around the city and have dinners, really building on their friendship outside of the movie. They truly fell in love. In between shots, Jackson would go up to Alexander and hold hands.
