Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Zach said, “She’s a next-level actress. I mean, she’s just unbelievable and what I was writing was gonna be really challenging.”

“It wasn’t for your average actors — I couldn’t have written the part for myself,” he continued. “I’m just in awe of her talent and I said, ‘I wanna write this for Florence. What I’m writing is really gonna be challenging and she’s incredible.'”

“It’s been about four years of a lot of loss,” Zach added. “My best friend was staying in my guest house and he got COVID and eventually died at 41 years old, leaving behind [his wife] Amanda Kloots and their young son. … So when I sat down to write — because I had to write, I had to express myself in some way, there was nothing else to do during the pandemic — this is what came out of me.”

Florence has reciprocated the feeling, sharing in a recent Good Morning America interview, “Zack has written a fantastic script that matches how we deal with times of sadness.”
