Ethan Hawke's new film is adapted from Sybil Rosen's memoir Tree House Memories. Hawke and Rosen co-wrote the script, telling the life story of the late country musician Blaise Frey. Musicians Ben Dickey and Alia Shawkat joined the cast. As a famous American country and western singer, Blaise Frey is deeply loved by Hawke, a Texan who loves music. Ben Dickey, who plays Frey, is from Arkansas, and Hawke must have taken this into consideration in the choice of actors. Sybil Rosen, the original author, was Frey's long-term girlfriend and muse, bringing endless inspiration to Frey's musical career.
