Theo Germaine, Austin Crute & Scott Turner Schofield Interview: They/Them

screenrant.com:

Theo Germaine and Austin Crute star in They/Them, executive produced by Scott Turner Schofield. The queer slasher movie follows a group of campers as they are sent to gay conversion therapy at a Camp Crystal Lake-like setting. Germaine plays Jordan, while Crute stars as Toby, two campers who get swept up in the physical and emotional violence taking place in their woodsy camp.

Crute has starred in Booksmart, Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, and has had appearances in Atlanta and Orange is the New Black, with a lead role in the short-lived Netflix show Daybreak. Germaine is perhaps best known for their role in the Netflix series The Politician, but they have also appeared in Work in Progress, Equal, and 4400. Schofield is a multi-hyphenate trans activist who has consulted on shows like Euphoria, The Craft: Legacy, and One of Us is Lying.

So what was your initial reaction to reading the script and that scene? 

Theo Germaine: Oh, gosh, my initial reaction to reading the script, auditioning, getting an offer, and maybe working on the movie, it was all real intimidating. This is serious subject matter and I have so many feelings
