Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Amber McGinnis is primarily a theatre director; this was her feature debut, shot in actual International Falls, MN during subzero temperatures.
The film quietly subverts the 'manic pixie dream girl' trope—here, the sad male comedian exists to catalyze the woman's story, not the reverse.
