Production

Josh Mond started writing the script to explore and understand his own feelings after losing his mother to cancer in 2011. During the writing of the script, Mond listened to the albums of Scott Mescudi, also known by his stage name Kid Cudi. They served as inspiration and motivation.[5] Kid Cudi went on to curate the film's music.[6][7]

In the middle of writing the script, Mond made an experimental short film precursor called ‘1009’ and had his close-friend, actor Christopher Abbott play the leading role. After the short, he decided that the part of James White was going to be written for Abbott.[8] Abbott based his performance on people he'd met, especially New Yorkers, Josh Mond and himself. Cynthia Nixon met up with Mond after reading the script. Mond and Nixon bonded over the fact that they both were from Manhattan with artsy parents. Unfortunately, both Nixon and Mond's mothers died of cancer, and Nixon herself is a cancer survivor.[9] She based her performance on Mond's mother and her own mother as well, even wearing her mother's jewelry in the film.[10] Actor-director Mark Webber, a friend of Mond's, sent his former colleague Mescudi the script. Mescudi joined the film and later scored the film.[11]

The film started shooting in New York City in December 2013.[12] The shooting lasted 18 days in New York and another 4 days were spent shooting in Mexico.[13] Borderline Films reached out via Kickstarter to finance the film's post-production editing costs and music rights.[14]

Release

The film premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival,[15] where it won the NEXT Audience Award.[16] It also screened at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival[17] and at the 2015 AFI Fest where it won the American Independents Audience Award.[18] The film received a limited release on November 13, 2015 by distributors, The Film Arcade.[19][20]
