Exploring the Universe
E. Duffy, playing the nonbinary character Milius, expresses excitement about the industry’s transformative change. The actor emphasizes the importance of showcasing a variety of stories, providing young audiences with the opportunity to imagine and see representation that has been long-awaited.
“I think people have been waiting a really long time to see a diversity of stories being told, and I think it’s really exciting,” said Duffy. “Especially young kids who get to grow up with some of these stories and imagine who they get to be one day, whether it be in the real world or maybe young kids who want to be actors. I think we’re all really excited about that.”
Authenticity in Collaboration

The cast worked together to ground the narrative in universal themes while paying particular attention to interpersonal relationships.
