Production
Jennifer Esposito told Variety that the idea for the script had been “percolating” in her mind since she was 16 years-old and growing up on Staten Island.
Esposito told Deadline Hollywood in October 2021, she had struggled to get finance for the project financiers and distributors due to the lack of male lead actors in the film. Funding instead arrived from a unique source with Deadline Hollywood calling it “the first feature film financed and traded by a global group of fan investors via this first-of-its kind IPO on Upstream, the Ethereum-powered digital stock exchange”.

In November 2021 Annabella Sciorra joined Esposito in the cast playing Christine, the sister of Esposito’s character Francine. Odessa A’zion And Emily Bader joined the cast in December 2021 as Francine’s daughters.
