No One Gives A Sh*t About Max Barbakow and Andy Siara, Creators of 'Palm Springs'

Director Max Barbakow and writer Andy Siara tell us the inspiring story of how the funny and heartfelt Palm Springs came to be what it is. They talk about why their therapeutic writing process and friendship was ultimately the most rewarding part of the process. And why the fact that no one gave a sh*t about them was, in a way, their greatest strength.

In case you've been living in a time-loop cave, Palm Springs stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, and earlier this year, became the biggest sale in Sundance history after a Hulu + Neon deal acquired it for $17,500,000.69. The movie was released during the pandemic in July, which was a blessing in disguise: breaking out with a record-setting opening weekend on Hulu.
