Kravitz reveals that she has been working on the script since 2017 which went to the floor in 2021 “By the time we were really talking about actually making the film,I could see this world and these characters so clearly in my mind and I didn’t feel like I would be able to handle trusting somebody else to bring this to life.” Which led her to take on the directorial duties eventually. As for the themes of the movie, she explains,
“I think there are a lot of themes that really fit into each other, like this puzzle in a way, that I don’t think I even realized at first as I was writing, which is one of the magical things about writing. You have different layers of things that are going on, and you realize how connected everything is, and just the way that we all internalize all these different kinds of stories and societal norms.”
