I can joke and say anyone who’s ever had a past or wants a great future, but it is really for anyone struggling to get on with their life and feels ready to shed their old baggage once and for all so they can finally move on.

Also, after watching a documentary about Alice Guy, I became obsessed with the burgeoning silent movie industry and the role this French pioneer filmmaker played in it, so I wanted to involve her as a character in the story.
