The series was produced by Andrade, directed and executive produced by Crist and was the largest documentary series debut that Amazon has ever had. Crist and Andrade have built an impressive portfolio across scripted, unscripted, and branded content. Notably, they produced Vanity Fair's series, "What is Cinema," featuring legends like Halle Berry, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Rian Johnson, The Daniels, Sarah Polley, and Ruben Östlund. Andrade also earned a co-producer credit for the 2021 romantic comedy "The Long Weekend," which was acquired by Sony's Stage 6 Films.
