Jamie Righetti interviewed Keanu Reeves and Matthew Ross for the Indie Wire. Keanu talked about producing and said the following:
He said that he saw his acting and producing efforts on a continuum. “They’re not separate, they’re connected. It’s kind of like the actors and the actresses are performing in the house, and the producer is building the house they’re performing in, or the set, or the stage, or the world. In the past decade, I’ve been trying to support building nice houses.”
Ross said the following about Keanu’s perfectionism and working with him:
According to Ross, the actor-producer even had a say on which socks his character would wear. “If you know Keanu at all, getting things right, the perfectionism that he brings is infectious. I wanted to have that perfectionism reflected throughout the film. Along with starring in the film, he was a wonderful producer to work with as well. He really made sure to do whatever he could to give me what I needed as a director and that proved to be incredibly helpful on the film.”
