Was the first half of KiTR ep. 1 meant to be referencing a specific rain-kissing scene of the past? I know you’ve mentioned that ep. 2 will feature an Anne of Green Gables reference (I think?), which makes me wonder if the first one was meant to recall some specific source material. Thanks!
Haha, well, dialogue-wise, the first episode is me referencing every Lily/James HP fanfic I’ve ever read. In my personal headcanon, these characters are living in my dream world where Warner Bros. is actually making a Marauders prequel movie and the director is, oh, idk, some obscure former fanfic writer turned filmmaker you’ve probably never heard of before now.
The Chapter I episodes of Kissing in the Rain are a mix of literary and cinematic references, whereas Chapter II is almost entirely literary references. I do have a list of movies/movie scenes I sent to Sean and Mary Kate and the rest of the creative team for reference on each episode, sometimes those scenes were different on the same episode depending upon what department they were in. If that film reference playlist is of interest, let me know and maybe I’ll do a master post with that/some of my pre-production notes at the end of each chapter of KitR for people’s reference.
I am still planning on writing a BTS post on my reblog of each episode, just haven’t gotten around to that yet. And also still have tons of BTS footage to sort through, which I’ll release once the total series has ended.
Hope that answers your questions!
