Exploring dark themes

In a recent interview, director Jake Schreier discussed the film’s deeper themes, stating, “You’re talking about a group of characters that have done a lot of bad things, and maybe are struggling with feeling good about themselves. There’s an element that does speak to mental health and loneliness, and how some of the darkness that we experience in our lives can’t necessarily be fixed, but can only really be made lighter through connection and finding others.”
