🎬High School

🎬 High School is the raw, awkward, and beautiful friction of finding your own identity while sharing a face with someone else. Set in the suburbs of Calgary during the mid-90s, the story follows twins Tegan and Sara as they navigate the treacherous waters of high school. It isn't just about the music they will eventually create; it’s about the quiet distance that grows between them as they begin to discover their own individual lives, secrets, and romantic feelings.

The atmosphere is nostalgic, gritty, and deeply intimate. It perfectly captures the specific "texture" of the 90s—the baggy clothes, the obsession with mixtapes, and the analog feel of teenage rebellion. The viewer feels the ache of first love and the confusion of queer awakening in a world that didn't yet have the language to make it easy. It’s a story of how a shared guitar in a basement became a bridge back to one another. Emotionally, the show feels like a well-worn flannel shirt: comfortable, a bit rough around the edges, and layered with the complicated love that only exists between siblings who are each other's best friends and fiercest rivals.

Did you know? (Czy wiesz, że...)
TikTok Discovery: In a truly modern casting story, the lead actresses Railey and Seazynn Gilliland were discovered on TikTok. Neither had acted professionally before, but Tegan Quin spotted them and knew their "un teachable charisma" was perfect for portraying the younger versions of the twins.

90s Authenticity: The show is lauded for its soundtrack and fashion, featuring era-appropriate grunge and alternative tracks that reflect the sisters' actual musical influences during their formative years.

The Clea DuVall Connection: The series was developed and directed by Clea DuVall, a close friend of Tegan and Sara for over 15 years and a queer cinema icon herself (But I'm a Cheerleader, Happiest Season).

Filmed at Home: To maintain total authenticity, the production was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, in the same neighborhoods where the real Tegan and Sara grew up, adding a layer of lived-in reality to every scene.
