Speaking about the inspiration behind the film, Chloe explained: “It was a story that burned inside me and a story I couldn’t not tell.
“I wanted to address some unresolved feelings that I had in the past, especially dating men that I felt were threatened by either my ambition or any small accomplishments. That dynamic should no longer be normalized,” she added.
