Don’t Make Me Go tells the story of Max Parks (John Cho), who after a well being scare, decides to show his teenage daughter, Wally (Mia Isaac) all of the life classes, together with how you can drive, on a fraught cross nation road-trip.
Through the journey to fulfill with Wally’s mum, Max and Wally study issues about themselves and one another. A highway journey, director Hannah Marks says signifies many issues. Speaking on a video name from Los Angeles, the 29-year-old actor/author/director says, “It is about a journey, getting to know each other and the communication that you have when you are on the road with nothing but road in front of you ( laughs).
The Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency actor says she likes road trips as they let the characters see different cultures and places. “It is so much more than just getting from point A to point B. Specifically in this story, I love that that Max gets to teach Wally to drive in this particular road trip. Those are some of my favourite scenes.”
John Cho was the primary particular person to be connected to the film, says Marks. “I am a huge fan of John’s. He is a wonderful actor and seemed so perfect for this role.”

Once Cho stated sure, Marks says, the following step was discovering Wally. “We had to find a suitable scene mate for John. We got lucky with Mia Isaac. She auditioned and though she had never done a movie before, she was completely terrific. She was so mature, talented, kind, a great human being and together they were wonderful.”
Though Wally is the narrator and the movie is barely extra from her perspective, Marks says, Don’t Make Me Go is each their tales. “It is a coming-of-age story for Wally and Max. It is an equal two-hander.”
The title, Marks says has a number of meanings. “It could be about Max’s health scare or something a teenager would say to their father when they do not want to go on a trip with them. Most teenagers probably do not want to go on a cross-country road trip with their dads ( laughs). I love the double meaning in it.”
The producer, Peter Saraf, thought she could be proper for the undertaking in accordance with Marks. “He has done Adaptation (2002), Little Miss Sunshine (2006) and a ton of other great movies. Peter had this script that he was passionate about for a long time. I started interviewing from there.”
Filming on nude seashore was memorable, Marks says with fun. “Those background actors had been so assured, and really enjoyable to speak to. We had been capturing in New Zealand and really received to have dolphins behind these bare folks at first of the film. That was utterly sudden. It is the kind of factor the place if you happen to tried to rent film dolphins, you in all probability wouldn’t have gotten it to work. Yet there we had been and the dolphins actually jumped ( laughs).
