Arnow’s previous works include the award-winning short film “Bad at Dancing,” as well as “Laying Out” and the feature documentary “I hate myself :)”

In addition to Arnow’s impressive creative abilities, the film features a talented cast, including Scott Cohen from “Gilmore Girls,” Babak Tafti from “Billions” and “Succession,” Alysia Reiner from “Fig” and “Orange Is the New Black,” and Michael Cyril Creighton from “Only Murders In the Building.” The production of the film was led by Graham Swon from Ravenser Odd and Pierce Varous from Nice Dissolve, with executive producers Adam Mirels and Robbie Mirels from Magnetic Labs.
