Notes: – Natalie is producing this film and had this to say about putting it together, “Spencer had been working on this script for several years and he sent it to me about a year ago. It took quite a while to get it going. It was a classic tale of Murphy’s Law pre-production to get financing and all that. It was really challenging. But it makes it all the sweeter now that we’ve pulled it all together.”
– Prior to filming, Joseph Gordon-Levitt had this to say about the film, “I love it. Don’t wanna tell you too much about it, specifically, because personally, I prefer watching movies that I don’t yet know much about. I will say that the director is named Spencer Susser, and he’s the genuine article. Natalie Portman is producing and playing a part, and I think it goes without saying how cool that is.”
– Director Spencer Susser is known for this short horror-romance-comedy.
