While speaking to People Magazine, Wyatt Russell has shed light on the film. The forthcoming film Broke is "a true labor of love," as per the actor's words. He also elucidated in the interview about the profound significance of Western culture in America.

Russell hints that the film is likely to explore a murkier story as he explains:

“We’re so used to seeing the bright side of rodeo and the bravado of the façade. But we never get to see the darker side of what it can be as well. Sometimes you can hang on a little too long, and like any aspect of life, it's no different in a bronc rider's life.”
