The Toronto International Film Festival in Los Angeles, Calgary, and London are among the impressive globe-trotting efforts by 21-year-old twin sisters Railey and Seazynn Gilliland in the last year has been praised by pop duo Tegan and Sara. Railey and Seazynn appear as teenage versions of the musical Quin sisters in their latest series, High School, a biographical coming-of-age story based on the company's 2019 memoir of the same name. The show, led by Clea Duvall and Insecure's Laura Kittrell, is a moving, quiet discovery of Tegan and Sara before they became critically acclaimed actors, and the Gillilands helm it beautifully. "This completely changed our lives," Railey says. "Every day they announce our schedule or the things we're doing." It’s like, how is this even real? It's been surreal. If there is any surprise in tone here, there is no reason — neither Railey nor Seazynn had even considered acting before this year. Before being cast in spring 2022, the two were employed at a pizza restaurant in Fresno, California. How did they get from making pies in the Golden State to premiering a television show at TIFF and landing it on streamer Freevee beginning October 14? TikTok is a tok.
