“And [punctuality] a very big deal when you're making a movie, if people are standing around like, ‘Where is so-and-so? She is on the mark...We all march down the steps together. It's fabulous. But it gives you an insight into her own personality and professionalism.”

Short also recalled the first time they met Gomez. Although their first meeting was a Zoom call due to COVID-19, any tensions were quickly put to rest from the "first second" they met in the makeup room. According to Short, it was "fabulous."
