“This has been a dream collaboration from the beginning, when Coburn and I wrote the script and it started having its own life and momentum, organically bringing together this stellar cast and producing team to make it happen,” Rose said. “When the stars aligned for Josh Radnor to play Graham I was especially thrilled given our long term friendship. There is a musical element going on in the story too, as I intend to have in all the films I make.”

Huebel can also be seen in comedies Seeking A Friend for the End of the World as well as alongside another HIMYM alum, Jason Segel, in I Love You, Man. In addition to more recent roles in films like The Half of It, Baker appeared as Jean Weir in the cult series Freaks and Geeks.
