Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title nods to 2000s emo culture's obsession with Catholic imagery, bridging millennial and Gen Z coming-of-age aesthetics.
Guevara based the roller rink on real Southern California rinks that served as liminal spaces for working-class kids — the dress theft mirrors actual rituals of hazing and initiation.
