On the Film's Most Impactful Scene

Over 100 people manage to show up to Emma's queer prom at the end of the movie, a scene that the hair and makeup team was the most emotionally invested in for a touching reason.

"I didn't have a queer prom when I was in high school, so watching those kids come into that number with perfect polished skin and whatever makeup they wanted that day just meant a lot to me," Clark said. "There were some trans actors that we wigged just to make them feel extra special for the day, and I would say that I was very emotionally invested in that entrance scene."

What's even more special is that the prom attendees were given control over how they wanted to look while filming the scene. "If they just wanted to have lipstick on or if they wanted to have full glamour — whatever they wanted to look like, that was what they got. It was so cool to see all these amazing makeup looks and hairstyles come through that light tunnel. The prom was probably the best part — seeing everybody so happy and the dancing and everything was great."
