In a statement, he said: ‘If you’d told me years ago, when Johnathan and I were first dreaming up this story, that I’d get to direct my first film with a cast as exquisitely talented as Mark, Zoey, Dylan and Johnny, I’d have said you were nuts. 

‘And honestly, if you’d said that back then, you might have been. This film is such a deep labor of love for me and our whole team.’
