The entire production was a family affair. It's written, directed, and produced by John Adams, his wife Toby Poser, and their daughter, Zelda. They also star, shoot, and compose the film's score. Their democratic directing process is if multiple Adamses have varying ideas for how a scene should be shot or acted, their modus operandi was to shoot it every way and select the best option. The best ideas always won, not the stronger voice.
