Speaking about how she approaches the film as a director she said, &#8220;I like to set big goals for myself, and because most directors are usually men and typically not 18, it was kind of always a huge goal for me to crack that barrier, to jump over that hurdle with strength and courage because it&#8217;s a scary role to fill.&#8221;

Talking about how she got over those hurdles, she explained her directorial process. Which consisted of making a mood board and a shot list with her brother; and rehearsing all of it on the set before shooting it. This directorial process was inspired by how she likes to be filmed as an actress.
