Schroeder's body of work includes Christopher Robin, Frozen II, Heart of Stone, and A Minecraft Movie, among several other hits.

The movie comes from Allison Schroeder, who is known for her heartfelt storytelling, and is developing it under the production umbrella of Seven Bucks Productions, the company co-founded by Johnson, which has a successful history of making films that combine commercial success with deep character development.
From Netflix's biggest global hits like Red Notice to Jumanji and Baywatch, Johnson's production company has proved its efficacy in selecting quality stories that not only perform well at the box office but also win hearts.
