The story of the film is inspired by James C. Strouse's experience of taking his two nieces to the theme park after his brother divorced
. The film only has a production investment of 3 million U.S. dollars and a 29-day shooting cycle
. Because the director of the film, James C. Strouse, is making a film for the first time, he has no experience in directing short films before, and he has only worked as a screenwriter for the film " Lonesome Jim "
. Therefore, the specific performance and production will be operated by the lead actor and producer John Cusack
.
John Cusack believes that Phillips is a nervous and sensitive figure. One of the important ways to dig into the character's heart is the way he walks. For this reason, he visited the spine therapist many times during the filming. The two "daughters" in the film were also personally selected by John Cusack
.
