Character creation

The initial concept for the movie was developed by writer-director Cooper Raiff while in college.[1] They wanted to specifically cast an autistic actress for the role, and wound up finding Vanessa Burghardt after a nation-wide casting call.[2] She also helped with developing the character. This is her first movie role.[3] They also consulted with RespectAbility, a self-advocacy nonprofit for people with disabilities.[4]

The movie screened at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.[5]
