“What may or may not have happened behind the scenes does not and hopefully should not detract from what our intentions were in making this film,” Brandon Sklenar posted on Instagram.
“Hey everyone. I wanted to take a minute and address all this stuff swirling online,” Sklenar, 34, began his message.“Colleen and the women of this cast stand for hope, perseverance and for women choosing a better life for themselves,” he said. “Vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul into making this film because they believe so strongly in its message seems counterproductive and detracts from what this film is about. It is, in fact, the opposite of the point.
“Someone very close to me has been struggling with a relationship that has mirrored Lilly’s closely,” Sklenar continued. “I feel a responsibility to bring this to life and help spread that message further. Prior to my involvement in this film, she had not heard of the book. It was only then that she read it. She credits Colleens book and subsequently this film with saving her life.
“All I ask is that before you spread hate on the internet, ask yourself who it’s helping,” Sklenar added. “Ask yourself if your opinions are based in any fact. Or if your simple want to be a part of something. Let’s be a part of something better together. A part of a new story being written for women and all people everywhere. Lead with Love and please be Kind. Brandon.
