What makes this show a different experience from the other major productions you've worked on? LC: There was a great bond that developed between the characters that flowed over to the crew on set. The main theme of the film is the focus on the mother/daughter relationship, and the support and struggles that come along with that. We had two pregnant women on set, and a lot of female crews. There was a good deal of personal reflection for a lot of people. Were there any fun throwbacks to the 2003 film that you were excited about? LC: There were so many! The switch moment, Pink Slip, Jake's hair… There was a lot of laughter and fun from the actors and crew while filming a lot of our scenes. It was a blast to be on set seeing everything they were bringing back and updating. TL: There are many fun throwbacks to the first film, but I don't want to ruin it for you guys! My inner high school self was freaking out the entire time. Tina Zepeda TRAILER COSTUMER ina Zepeda knew in college that she wanted to do either film or fashion and came across a six-week intensive program for costuming and film and TV program that Columbia College in Chicago was offering at the time. "I went in, and I did the program, and I was probably like the youngest person in the program. I did MOTIONPICTUREC O S T U M E R S .O R G 35 it my sophomore year. And the program at the time was only available to juniors and seniors. But I wrote a big leer saying, 'Listen, I'm prey sure this is exactly what I want to be doing. I'll work my ass off. Please just let me do it.' I got in, I aced the class, and then I came back to Chicago. I continued my studies at Columbia, and I also started doing a bunch of student films at the same time and geing my sea legs…" Tina has been a member of 705 for 11 years, geing her days through the New Media Contract for the (at that time new) streaming service Crackle. "It took about five Crackle shows for me to get all my days but it was great … being thrown right into the fire doing these like low budgets—there's blood, there was an anthology series, it was nonstop. There were stunts, so I learned all these cras very quickly and learned just how to adapt fast to the fast-moving environment, I got very comfortable with that." Was there anything special about Freakier Friday that made you want to take this project on? TZ: It felt like a full-circle moment for me, because I remember when the original film came out in 2003. I was actually going from eighth grade to high school in 2003, and that movie was like every lile angsty teenage girl that had a problem with her mom. You know what I mean? And so, it was interesting, because I remember buying the soundtrack because I loved having soundtracks to movies, that was my favorite thing. I bought the Freaky Friday soundtrack, which I think I still have, and I just was rocking out to it, feeling very Lindsay Lohan, feeling very grunge at the time and then. Now it's T Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray get aquainted. Sophia Hammond and Jamie Lee Curtis.
