In a video interview with production company Sepia Films, Thorne said,

"I cried a lot in this film. One scene, I'm coming out to my parents about being a heroin addict, and the next scene I'm dancing and having an amazing time with my friends. That's the really hard part, is going from full-on heroin look to innocent Amanda where she starts using. ... It's not a light film. ... You have to keep it realistic. So sometimes I get a little depressed on set while working, but I have an amazing crew and cast.
