Production
editGil Bellows explained that he was attracted to the project and said "I have two kids.

Bellows also explained that he worked on the script with director Jay Sivelman "Jay was very collaborative in the development stage and embraced the give and take of my ideas and input." On his role, Bellows added that the hardest part was "playing a loving, caring parent who doesn’t have all the answers and is suffering along with his daughter was challenging, but is also what drew me to be in this film."[3]
