Interesting facts

The Big Ask is a 2013 American independent black comedy-drama film. Directed by Thomas Beatty and Rebecca Fishman, it stars Gillian Jacobs, Zachary Knighton, David Krumholtz, Melanie Lynskey, Ahna O'Reilly, and Jason Ritter. The film was released theatrically in the United States on May 20, 2014.

Production

The film's concept arose from a "rocky" period in the relationship of writer/director Beatty and his wife, co-director Fishman.

Principal photography took place in and around Twentynine Palms, California—including Joshua Tree National Park—and lasted 17 days.

The first cut of the film was over three hours in length. "It was a long process", according to Beatty. "We had two movies [and] we cut a whole movie out".
