It is British actress Emerald Fennell's first feature film as a writer/ director. "Working with Emerald is amazing," confides Steiner. "She is also the writer and showrunner for Season 2 of Killing Eve, and will soon star in the next season of The Crown, playing Camilla Parker Bowles. And she was six months pregnant during our shoot!"
