The film was shot in numerous locations around San Diego County over a two year period,[3] beginning in mid 2022. Koenig started writing the script in 2015 but shelved it for years before production.[1]

Release

[edit]

The film screened June 13, 2024 at Digital Gym Cinema.[4]

Reception

[edit]

Film critic Rebecca Cherry scored it 6 out of 10, complimenting Riddle and Bohlin's performances. Cherry stated it "takes a walk down a very relevant road to have a conversation about a vital issue in America today" but also that "it feels as if it's playing things slightly too safe."[5] Adrian Perez of Lonely Wolf International Film Festival in London complemented Koenig's direction.[4] Perez said "the film's satirical elements risk overshadowing its deeper message, and the pacing occasionally falters" but it is also "a significant and timely piece of cinema that deserves attention and reflection."[6]
