Production Background & Fun Facts: I am a filmmaker from Iran and have made several films there, Long, short fiction and documentaries and also, I lived in England for a few years and made some documentaries there too. Here is the link to the information and my biography that you might need in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Shoolizadeh I have always been looking for interesting stories to tell through my films, When I came to the US a few years ago, I heard that Teenagers pregnancies in the USA is higher than the other developed countries. I wanted to show that in the film, though in an interesting and unique way. In order to break the cliche, I chose the young teenagers aged 14 and showed the love of father towards the baby. So, with the help of the co-writer, Dena McKinnon, we tried to write the screenplay for shooting.
