Trivia / First Girl I Loved

• Dawson Casting: Both Dylan Gelula and Brianna Hildebrand are older than their characters, though not by much. Anne, Gelula's character, isn't given a specific age but likely in her late teens and Gelula was 21-22 at the time. Sasha, whom Hildebrand played, is 18. At the time she was 19-20. Matéo Arias played Clifton, who's likely supposed to be around the same age too. He was 19.
• Fake Nationality: Brianna Hildebrand plays Sasha, who is a Latina (though it's not emphasized). However, she reportedly has Mexican ancestry. This plus her looks being similar to the actors playing Sasha's parents make the casting work (she also never speaks Spanish, unlike Clifton).
• Queer Character, Queer Actor: Sasha is indicated to be queer by her attraction toward Anne, although she's in denial about this and we never learn the details. Actress Brianna Hildebrand. who says she's into guys and women, plays her.
• Romance on the Set: Brianna Hildebrand met her girlfriend Jonnake Grisham (who's a set director) while filming.
