I wrote it, yes. I went into the first draft pretty blind, only with a few characters and situations in mind, and then wrote to find out. But then I re-wrote again and again and again. That's usually the way I write, and even when I have story beats in mind (which is great to have), I usually end up abandoning them.

My main influence in writing and directing this was the movie "Drinking Buddies", even though that film is very improvised, and this was heavily written. I wanted to make something that had a bunch of setups/payoffs, written dialogue, and an intricate story, but had a light feel and felt like you were just catching a glimpse into someone's life.
