Gabriel. Smith explains that the film explores the millennials disinterest in forming relationships and their rush into partnering with someone without really getting to know them. She created the film with her real-life partner whom she met when she was 11 years old. The actress explains that she wanted to have complete control over her content and she has worked with Gabriel for years, so he was the perfect person to work with to bring their dreams to fruition.
