Jill Soloway

We grew up watching Woody Allen and Albert Brooks movies, and we see this neurotic, annoying, unlikeable male at the center of a story, and people root for him anyway. I think that's really what we have been craving as women is the hero who doesn't look perfect and doesn't act perfectly.

Charles Koppelman

We grew up watching gangster movies. We wanted to make a film that people would quote to each other like 'Diner' and 'Godfather,'
