Logan Cormier, who plays Jackson's friend Leo, is a professional jockey who, at the time of filming, was trying to get his career and life back on track after spending 16 years in prison on drug charges. Clifton Collins got him an audition after the two met in the jockey room at the Turf Paradise racetrack, where the film was both made and set, and Cormier made such an impression on writer-director Clint Bentley that Bentley not only cast him as Leo, but expanded the part for him.
Premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
