I loved the scenes with Kevin, Mac and Felicia. Glad they happened, glad they got well deserved recognition.

kimberly mccullough talks working on high school musical: the musical: the series, including specifically working with olivia rose keegan from days of our lives (and olivia rodrigo): 

(for soap opera digest’s dishing with digest podcast)

host: when you think about the credits that you’ve amassed as a director, is there a particular assignment or gig that you feel like was a game changer for you? either because of the doors that it opened or because it was creatively satisfying for you or because it gave you like a deeper confidence in yourself in the profession?

kimberly: wow, yeah i mean the obvious one is high school musical because it encompasses my dance, singing background and also i get to work with like the most talented young people. while we were shooting last season you know olivia rodrigo’s song went number one in the world and you know just shows up the next day to work, playing nini which is so amazing. so i would say that, and then after my first season on that show i directed two episides, tim federle the showrunner asked me to be a producer on season two. so that has opened doors to me as a producer, as the first television show i’ve produced. and also now i’m in contention for pilots and i just got some big news yesterday about a movie, can’t share it yet, but um yeah i would say that. creatively satisfying and also game changing. 

host: yes and we are on the precipice of the debut of season two uh because day’s of our lives alum olivia keegan will be appearing in season two so...

kimberly: yes, i worked very closely with her.

host: oh- okay

kimberly: she was in lots of my episodes. i love her. 

(laughing)

host:  okay does she get the mccullough thumbs up?

kimberly: oh of course. actually she- when we came back from our break um she had won an emmy. 

host: mhmm

kimberly: and we talked about that- but yeah i absolutely love her. we call her keegan on set so that we don’t get olivia rodrigo and olivia rose keegan confused. so it’s liv and keegan. so if i say that that’s what i mean. um yeah. fabulous to be able to talk about our soap lives together!

host: that must be so interesting because it really is such a- you know unique experience especially doing it when you’re young. and then maybe comparing your experience with someone else who’s done it because i feel like unless you’ve done it maybe you don’t really understand what goes into doing the rigors of doing a soap opera. 

kimberly: no, like- literally nobody understands unless you’ve done it. and i was able to talk to her in terms of like- just- just- ways that you shoot a soap versus the ways we shoot hsm is just different. um and you know soap actors always impress everybody because they know their lines backwards and forwards and know everybody else’s lines because that’s just the muscle that you gain, comes from working on soaps. so yeah it’s really interesting i mean she is- this is a very different character for her you’ll see she’s funny- she’s very funny. and um she sings a song in episode two and she just kind of blows it out of the water. i can’t wait for you guys to see it i’m so excited!
