In a joint statement to PEOPLE, Woods and Wright say the film is “our love letter to the place where we were born and raised, the beautiful Canadian province of Quebec.”

When the film team met, they add, “we were struck by the similarities in our parents’ stories; Englishmen who fell head over heels in love with French Canadian women and moved to La Belle province to start their families. We were inspired to shape that story as a throwback romantic comedy that would celebrate the culture clash between the US and Canada.

“Quebec City, the picturesque capital of the province, became the perfect location for our love story; enchanting landscapes, rich history, delicious food and most importantly, wonderful people who respect family and tradition. This background, combined with the fast-paced, ego-driven culinary world, permeates Frenchwoman with the energy of a modern fairy tale.”
