Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's ratio of runtime to emotional devastation is scientifically unfair. Studies show six-minute shorts hit harder because we don't expect the arc.
Izzy G. was discovered in a local theater program; this was her first on-screen role. The seashell was a genuine family heirloom from Caffery's childhood.
