Questioning the outcome of a major life decision is enough to keep anybody up at night.
What would have happened if you had done just one thing differently?
What would your life look like today?
Would you be a happier person?
Mae wakes up living a completely different life the next morning.
We had the opportunity to sit down with the writer, director, and star of the new series.
What inspired you to write a series about this?
But I was excited to explore the multiverse, and there are definitely Buddhist themes throughout.
I wanted to explore that through the lens of modern relationships, particularly sex and sexuality.
No, I don’t think so.
I wrote this in a pretty unconventional manner.
I wrote all seven episodes in lockdown by myself.
This, I didn’t outline.
It’s very much a pure look into my own psyche.
Are there any scenes that you wrote for yourself that you were most excited to portray on screen?
They were all pretty exciting.
Where to begin with the challenges?
But it’s all thrilling to do.
The thrills outweigh the challenges.
Is the entire series a dream?
I like to leave things open to interpretation.
I didn’t see them as a dream to Mae.
I liked the idea of us actually going on a multiversal romp.
In terms of relationships, Mae is on this journey to return to her sense of home.
What kind of concepts and themes would you love to explore and write about in the future?
I’m always fascinated by relationships.
They’re so complex, and we have not cracked the code.
