In an exclusive interview with The List, Ava Michelle (a.k.a.
Did you both see the show before you started filming?
Ava:I did …
It’s so good.
[Laughs] It’s amazing, and the storyline is great.
What in the world?"
But you know what, Ava?
That would be so fun.
Anjelika:You’re top choice.
Why didn’t I think of that before?
That would be great.
Ava:Yeah, it was amazing.
[Laughs] It’s super exciting.
Preparing for it, I still dance and train, because I love it.
We started rehearsals before we started filming and constantly had rehearsals throughout.
It was a great preparation process and everyone was such a hard worker, so it was great … Anjelika:You have to do that.
You’re going to.
You’re so good at it.
Ava:Thank you.
And Anjelika, you got to experience a surprise scene like that in the sequel, too.
Are these nerve-wracking scenes to do?
Anjelika:I don’t know what you’re talking about, girl.
I actually had never experienced that, and yeah, that’s all I got for you.
It is very nerve-wracking, and I don’t know if I love it.
It’s a thing that’s a part of it.
So, like, we’re just friends.
We’re just chilling," and it’s an interesting experience, you know?
It’s very different.
I don’t know how to explain it.
Anjelika:The direction, too.
“Can you move your hand like that?”
Or, “How long [do] you hold her?
I’m like, “Ahh!”
It takes away from trying to make it real, you know?
Ava:It does … Well, how many variations of a kiss can we get?
And then, this is now choreographed.
Anjelika:Yeah, and then you’re trying to make it look real.
It’s a challenge.
Ava:It is a challenge.
The party on a boat that you had looked like so much fun.
What was the scene that was the most fun to film?
Ava:Ah, that was so fun.
I really enjoyed the boat scene.
The musical scenes were super fun.
Our production, props team, everyone did such a good job of creating the most amazing set.
It was such a great scene.
I love the writing of it.
Anjelika:I agree.
That was my favorite scene.
What is it like to be on set?
What is this cast like?
You guys got to be together again after two years.
But when work brings us together for a long period of time, it’s really really great.
New Orleans has awesome food.
Anjelika:The best.
New Orleans has awesome food.
All we did was try new restaurants and try new places all the time in our off time.
She’s right, all we did was eat, and I love to eat.
It’s the best.
Was there a message that really stuck with each of you or resonated with you afterwards?
Ava:That’s really deep.
It’s hard to pick one.
I really hope that people can take away from that that they’re not alone.
The people who love you are going to love you in all facets on your journey.
Ava:I hope that we explore our relationship more.
I’m throwing that out there.
If you’ve got the option to hear me.
Ava:The Netflix.
Anjelika:I would love it to really, focus in more on them.
I feel like it’s so important to see that.
“Tall Girl 2” is now available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
