Did you prioritize LGBTQ crew?

Jen: We did. Ultimately, we hired the best people for the job, and many of our key crew has worked with us for years. Not all identify as LGBTQ, and we didn't make it a mandate for hiring, but we had a number of LGBTQ crew and our set was so much the better for it. A movie like this benefits so much from a set filled with allies and community members. We absolutely insisted on allyship. We had a code of conduct, detailing that NO HATE would be tolerated. We used people's pronouns on call sheets, if desired, and made sure to have resources available if anyone felt triggered by difficult material. A safe, respectful set can be achieved at any budget, and I'm very proud of ours.
