BoulderLight Pictures, who produced the film alongside Shaun Sanghani and Russ Posternak, shared Horowitz's enthusiasm. "We've always known that Eli and our incredible cast were onto something special," they declared. This sentiment is an assertion of the film's distinctive appeal, bolstered by Ryder's star power.
