Director Ben Hozie said actor Peter Vack had no problem being naked and masterbating on camera. Hozie said Vack is a shy guy in real life but once he's on camera, he's down to do anything.
Julia Fox and Buddy Duress both had their breakthroughs in films directed by Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie; Fox in Uncut Gems (2019) and Duress in Heaven Knows What (2014).
Julia Fox's first feature role. She filmed this before appearing in Uncut Gems (2019), but this wasn't released until after Gems.
First nude scenes for Julia Fox.
Actor Peter Vack said they didn't use an intimacy co-ordinator for the sex scenes. In fact, he said they made this film before he and director Ben Hozie had even heard of the concept. Hozie and Vack, who is also a director, feel that responsibility should be handled by directors since they understand how intimate scenes should play out on camera.
