Chorney, although extremely
grateful to have Robin, says hav-
ing her cousin “direct” her was
challenging in scenes about
her own life, because she lived
it. She wanted everything to be
authentic. If people were ass-
holes, she wanted them to be
seen as assholes. If they were
good, she wanted them to look
good. At times, they butted
heads. “He deserves a medal
for putting up with me,” she
laughs. Chorney did have the
opportunity to direct second
unit locations and plans on di-
recting in the future.
Actor Maxwell Scott plays
Chorney’s husband, Scott. Upon
the actor’s arrival in Tucson,
where much of the film was
shot, they road together from
the airport. Maxwell asked Scott
for tips on how he should be
portrayed, Scott offered the ad-
vice, “Just be cool.”
