Production[edit]
Vincent Landay is producer in the film alongside Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman and Alison Small for Brownstone Productions. The film will also mark Alex Prager’s feature debut, who co-wrote the script with her sister Vanessa.[2]

Principal photography has since commenced in Los Angeles.[4] Juliette Lewis, Kathryn Newton, and Sofia Boutella joined the cast.[5]
