Inspiration behind the film:
Ariel Elmann and Jack Terzi are a Brooklyn-based filmmaking duo. Growing up together in the same Midwood two-family house during the early 00's led them, decades later, to a mutual love of comedy and telling stories embodied by the characters they know all too well. Ariel is in the ticket buying world, and wanted to tell the story of people who are so desperate to get ahead that they're unable to see that they are ultimate in their own way.
