- The film's plot, as described by production materials, has Luan introduced by a homeless street kid to the piers, queer street life, hustlers, sex workers, addicts and other outsiders living on the margins of the city.
- The project is in active pre-production and has posted public casting listings on Backstage seeking local extras aged 35 to 79 to create an authentic Brooklyn/New York vibe.
- Casting notices list pay at $20 per hour with a guaranteed $100 minimum per day and state no professional acting experience is required, according to 25 Casting agent Katya Chernetsova.
- The move into a feature signals a shift in Fox’s career from actor and short‑form director to feature filmmaker and local casting opens paid opportunities for non‑professional New Yorkers while the production finalizes principal casting and a shooting schedule.
