Haze plays Alma’s musician ex-boyfriend, Studi portrays Alma’s quirky father and Cassavetes appears as an apartment building manager where Alma resides.
The film is produced by VillaSeñor and Kilcher. Reza Ghassemi and Jacob Stein serve as executive producers. Christopher Pollock co-produces alongside co-executive producers Grant Roberts and Justin Rubin.
