Producer Barry Jenkins first met Eva Victor after following her on Instagram. Victor later followed him back, with Jenkins later messaging her saying she can send over scripts to his production company Pastel if she ever writes anything. Victor later said that Jenkins saw her as a director before she even saw herself as one, since he later added that her comedic work on social media is directing, even if she didn't see it as that.
The director of photography, Mia Cioffi Henry, was actually in the trunk of the car while shooting the entire scene of Agnes driving.
Eva Victor shadowed Jane Schoenbrun on the set of J'ai vu la télé briller (2024) to prepare for directing this film.
The official release of the film in Russia began on July 24 and ended on August 2 due to a decision by the Russian Ministry of Culture. The Russian Ministry of Culture revoked the film's distribution certificate on August 1. No official reasons were given for the revocation of the distribution certificate. However, the film touches on the topic of non-traditional relationships, and on July 31, Russia passed a law that provides for the refusal to issue a distribution certificate for films with materials that discredit or deny traditional spiritual and moral values.
