- An exclusive featurette highlights how Celia Rowlson-Hall built choreography from Blumberg’s compositions, with Amanda Seyfried detailing the intensive rehearsal process.
- The final mix blends studio recordings with live vocals performed on set by Seyfried and the ensemble, with “Clothed by the Sun” and “John’s Running Song” submitted for Best Original Song consideration.
