Both Laila Rose Bouromane and John Gannon have appeared in Paul Herbert's previous film The Flight of Iro and Casper (2015).
Director Paul Herbert has worked as an English teacher in the UK and abroad. Like Virgil, the protagonist of this film (and an increasing number of British employees in the education sector), Herbert has often been under Britain's notorious "zero-hour contracts", which allow employers to add or cancel an employee's work hours with as little as a few hours' notice. Workers under zero-hour contracts also receive no paid holidays, among other rights that full- and part-time employees enjoy.
The second Paul Herbert film edited by C.J. Lazaretti. The director and editor first worked together in The Flight of Iro and Casper (2015).
