“Coming from 5 different countries and 6 very different backgrounds, we got together to develop this story. The seed came from a writing game through 2 of our team members, and after lots of brainstorming, we all decided that one idea had the power to become bigger than us. We wrote and discussed and shared life experiences and
very deep personal stories. We were eager to create something fresh, absurd, but touching and universal. We brainstormed more, had lunch and dinner together, did movie nights and sleep overs. We were transparent with each other and we all wanted to nurture our story. This is how Go Fishboy was born.”
