The director said, “I have such a love for him; for both of these people, it was a gift that I got to express it in a film.” He continued to add, “But I just hope [Ferrell] continues to get all the love that he deserves. Because he’s put so much good out in the world. And we often sometimes take for granted comedians who give us joy and love throughout our whole lives and make our day-to-day a lot easier, so I hope he feels that.”
As a reaction to the director’s speech, the Elf actor wiped his tears and said, “What’s this Bullshit?” and the crowd erupted in laughter.
Before the movie was available for the audience to stream, the documentary had been screened at the Sundance Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, and Telluride Film Festial.
As for the plot of the film, the synopsis reads, “When Will Ferrell finds out his close friend of 30 years is coming out as a trans woman, the two decide to embark on a cross-country road trip to process this new stage of their relationship in an intimate portrait of friendship and transition.”
