In an interview with OTTplay, Anna said, “I had been doing gritty films where my characters were going through a lot of struggles and trauma, and so I felt that I wanted to try a fun movie too. These were the kind of films we would watch in the early 2000s that had a lot of fun, actors, chaos and music. That’s exactly what this film offers.”
