“Initially it was never a time loop wedding rom-com,” reveals Andy Siara about the Hulu film “Palm Springs.” For our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above), he adds, “Back in June of 2015, Max Barbakow, the director, and I had just finished up at AFI. We thought ‘let’s make our first movie together.’ We went out to Palm Springs and talked. We had the seed of a character that claims to care about nothing and put him on a journey to care about something. Finding meaning in a meaningless world. That’s all we had that initial weekend.”
Siara further describes, “Max and I would talk about life and our own existential angst. I got married at the time in ‘Palm Springs.’ There’s some of that in there, as well as our own feelings on love, commitment, shame and depression. It was like we were playing in a therapeutic sandbox together.
