• Creator Matthew A. Cherry said he was mulling the idea for the short for a couple of years. He found the confidence to move forward with it after seeing online videos of black fathers interacting with their children go viral - particularly videos of dads helping daughters with their hair.

• Started as a Kickstarter campaign to fund a 5-minute, animated short in 2017. With a starting goal of $75,000, it raised $284,058 from 4,981 backers in 30 days. The funding period was July 10, 2017, through August 9, 2017.

• Matthew Cherry predicted he would win an Oscar on Twitter two times, first in 2012 with "I'm gonna be nominated for an Oscar one day. Already claiming it" and in 2016 when he teased the concept for this film based on a CGI image of a father resting his head in between his daughter's hair "Any 3D artists follow me? I got an Oscar worthy short film idea to go with this image. Get at me".
