Aside from providing a social commentary on the cultural reliance and obsession with likes, shares and selfies, March’s all-female production is a cultural statement in and of itself.
‘It’s entirely written, directed and produced by females,’ the actress proudly told Jesse Palmer.
Adding: ‘Our crew was largely female, not entirely, not entirely but largely.’
