Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joseph Millson directed this between acting gigs, funding it through a crowdfunder aimed at showcasing older actors in meaningful roles — Michael Maloney was his first and only choice for Alan.
The film deliberately never shows Alan's illness directly; we only see symptoms through Michael's reactions, forcing us into the caregiver's helpless perspective.
