Simone Ashley gave an interview to Deadline where she spoke about her character Pia and if she relates to her.

“I think her chaos and clumsiness [were things] that I didn’t relate to as much because I think I’m much more of an organized, grounded person. But I also thought it was so endearing and inviting, her character journey, where she really learns a lot about herself, and she stops running and she realizes everything that she has around her and all the answers that she’s looking for are within herself.”

Ashley also spoke about executive producing a project for the first time. She said,

"It’s my first time producing. Ben [Pugh] and Erica [Steinberg] at 42 MP were super passionate about me collaborating with them, and I learned so much from them, from this whole experience filling those shoes as well as leading. I really love creating a team mentality when I’m on a set, even if I’m not producing."
