Actress Caito Aase said when casting director Sarah Casey texted asking if she would like to audition to be a stripper in the '80s who fights demons, Caito replied, "Yes! Yes! A resounding Yes!" She was a huge fan of the show G.L.O.W. (2017) about female wrestlers in the 80s and envisioned herself playing someone like her favorite character on the series Zoya the Destroya.
When asked what she thinks people should take away from this film, Caito Aase said, "I would say, for me, what I hope people will walk away with is that sex work is work! It is a job, and it is something that should be supported and decriminalized, and also that queer rights are human rights. It is so imperative that we take care of each other right now."
