Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Shirley Knight's final film role before her 2020 death; she and Keach had previously starred together in 1972's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.

Insight

Director Jason Winn funded this through faith-based investors then snuck in a profoundly secular meditation on dying—indie hustle at its finest.
