Jade has spent years trying to bring the film to life – after earning a spot on the Black List in 2016, a platform that highlights unproduced screenplays and helps writers and producers get their work to the big screen.

The film, which was initially written as a play by Jade in 2011, was released theatrically by Lionsgate on January 26 after premiering at the Palm Springs International Film Festival earlier this year.
