Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Barbara Bain was 87 during filming; this was her first short film in decades. She brings decades of primetime gravitas to 'grandma who tolerates no nonsense.'
Director Leonora Pitts based this on her own mother's Alzheimer's progression, flipping the typical 'sad disease story' into a son's desperate comedy of errors.
