The story was a personal one, of sorts, with Colaizzo drawing on the journey of his college friend Brittany O'Neill, whom he moved in with in their 20s as O'Neill was on the cusp of taking steps, literally, to improve her life. He stresses that the character of Brittany Forgler, played in the film by Jillian Bell, is different from O'Neill, saying "There are things that that character has done that [O'Neill] has never done."
"I was able to take milestones from her journey and see my Brittany's version of that—Brittany Forgler, the character — or emotional experiences she had to see how I could weave those into what the character of Brittany was experiencing," he says. "Brittany and I both resort to humor a lot— often we can use it to deflect vulnerability, like most people do — and that was a starting point that was true to her, true to me and really what the character was rooted in.
