Reynolds and Pellington had a series of very late night conversations about the film, which confirmed how passionate the director was about the project and, Reynolds says, spurred him to reflect on how the trials he’s had in his personal life over the past two years dovetailed with the vulnerability he surfaces in the video. The director says the story asks whether someone who thinks they have done something terrible can truly be forgiven at the end of their life. Pellington wrote a script that traces the story of Reynold (played by Reynolds), a desperate man fallen on hard times who makes a tragic mistake that lands him on death row, far away from the love of his life, played by the singer’s real-life wife, Nico Vega lead singer Aja Volkman.
