In an interview with The Guardian, director Sean Baker spoke about his reason for telling the story of Anora. He said,

“Part of the reason I made the film is because I realised our Cinderella stories have changed in the last 10 years. It’s about wealth and fame now. When I was growing up, the American dream was a house in the suburbs and, hopefully, you’d make enough for your kids to go to college. That was pretty much it. That’s changed, and this is maybe what the film is commenting on.”

He also revealed why he does not work with big stars.

“I have a lot of friends in the industry who have had nightmare experiences working with big Hollywood actors. I don’t know how they get through the day. I would throw in the towel. I would love to work with Jennifer Lawrence or Leonardo DiCaprio some time. I hear they’re great! But you never know. It could really derail a movie.”
