When asked about Josephine Decker and Zefrey Throwell being so open with their nudity in the film, director of photography Ashley Conner said: "You can't get these two to wear clothes. I'm shocked that they're wearing clothes right now. I've never met two people, and this is from prior to [them] getting together, that they'll just get naked and pretty much have zero reservations about it. I think this translates into the film, within a larger sense, nudity is the least revealing thing in the film. It never gets clinical, but it's one of those things that's just like a celebration of bodies in a way, but also that's not the rawest thing of the film. Watching it, it's painful in so many other ways. The nudity feels like the least saucy part of it. I've seen you guys emotionally naked in far worse positions than you guys having pleasurable-looking sex."
In a 2017 interview, Zefrey Throwell was asked how he felt about sharing his deeply intimate film with a public audience. He said: "Did your mother ever catch you masturbating? I remember once when I was 13 and I was in the thick of it. I couldn't touch myself enough. I remember she just came in the room, and why I pulled the sheet back. Who knows, right? I was really in the moment. It was dark, and she opened the door, and the light shoots through. It was like a goddamn B-movie that highlights me jerking off. I was just like, 'AAAAH!' She didn't say anything. She just looked at me and went 'huh' and shut the door and never talked about it. This is what I feel like that film is for me, that moment of 'AAAH!'
