'Whatever the stakes or expectations, no matter how high or set, Leo shows it's never too late to be yourself and define the terms for your life.' — anderfinn​ of glaad

Director of Transgender Representation Alex Schmider onto the project to be sure they were depicting the story with dignity. He eventually joined as an executive producer.

"Whatever the stakes or expectations, no matter how high or set, Leo shows it's never too late to be yourself and define the terms for your life." "Credit to Nicola and Reda, who, when made aware of the film's limitations, knew to engage with a filmmaker from the trans community to help tell Leo's story with authenticity," Schmider tells POPSUGAR.

Schmider continued:"Many stories about trans people miss that the most compelling parts of our lives aren't necessarily about our gender but rather the individual ways we move through the world as ourselves. So when telling stories about trans people, the goal for me is for audiences to get to know and see the full person; in this case, Leo, in his multidimensionality."

To Schmider, Baker's story is about courage, and the guts it takes to pursue a life truly aligned with who you are."Whatever the stakes or expectations, no matter how high or set, Leo shows it's never too late to be yourself and define the terms for your life."
