Mass producers Dylan Matlock and J.P. Ouellette open up about their experiences of reading a script so powerful they immediately knew they wanted to bring it to life…

In this episode, we talk about…

Riding in a van full of models while crying over a script 

The process of securing resources to make this film happen 

Two days of table work and one month to prepare for filming 

How shorter hours on set allowed time for more creativity 

Actors’ preparation of shooting 8-12 pages a day and rolling into the emotions 

Addressing gun violence and shared trauma without political agenda  

Embracing a story that focuses on reconciliation, grieving, and moving forward 

Recognizing different responses to the film and the preventative opportunity it presents 

Restoring a sense of community and being able to see the humanity in others through the characters from Mass
