“For the longest time, I heard these stories from Matt and Tara about their time growing up, their relationship, and how they each ended up where they are today. To be able to see all of these different moments and stories come together in this script, many of which have helped me on my own journey in life, has been incredibly profound, and I couldn’t think of a better tale to be told on the big screen. It means so much to me to be able to contribute to this project however I can.”
