John Szeles' perception of life and death was questioned in a documentary that was released in 2019. Ben Berman made the documentary four years after Selses announced his imminent death. It was his first experience directing a film. He worked with Sleses sometimes, but he was more committed to finishing the film than annoyed with him.

Berman's mother died of cancer years ago. The film includes videos he made during her illness.
