In 2018, Rebekah McKendry revealed that she directed the film while pregnant throughout the nine-month term. In her words, "We shot the first two segments while I was nine months pregnant. Then we had to stop because it reached a point where I went a little bit past my due date. My doctor was like, 'Okay, you have to give birth this Wednesday, we're making an appointment.' My first call wasn't to my parents, it was to my producers, saying, 'Okay guys, we can't shoot next weekend, I have to go give birth.' We took three weeks off after I gave birth, and then we were right back on, and I brought my son to set with me."[2][3]
