Director and co-writer Brandon Christensen talks about how they approached balancing the types of speculations about what Josh's relationship with his "friend" Z might be, and how that relationship influences the other relationships with his parents and real world friends, doing a feature film commentary track, and more.

Brandon also talks about the affecting nature of practical effects and how much more visceral the actors' interactions can be with a physical presence to work with rather than imagining a CGI creature.

Includes mild spoilers about one key scene.
