One of the very best things I saw at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival wasn’t a film, but rather, a new Amazon Freevee series, High School. Based on iconic indie rock duo Tegan and Sara Quin's bestselling memoir, the show stars TikTok sensations and acting newcomers Railey and Seazynn Gilliland as Tegan and Sara, covering their experience searching for their own identities while growing up in the suburbs of Calgary in the 90s.
High School doesn’t hit Amazon Freevee until October 14th, but the team opted to celebrate early with a world premiere at TIFF 2022 as part of the festival’s Primetime line-up. While in town for the event the Quins, the Gillilands, co-star Kyle Bornheimer who plays their father, executive producer, director, and showrunner Clea DuVall, and writer and showrunner Laura Kittrell all visited the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to discuss their experience making the show.
Be sure to check out High School when the first four episodes premiere on Amazon Freevee on October 14th, with two additional episodes airing each subsequent Friday.
Special thanks to our TIFF 2022 partners A-list Communications, Belvedere Vodka, Marbl Toronto, COVERGIRL Canada, Tres Amici Wines, Toronto Star, and Blue Moon Belgian White beer.
