"When my sister was dying, she moved into a cottage next to me, and her end-of-life care lasted for six months. Different groups of friends and family visited. It became a happy time for her, despite the circumstances. I've never seen anything quite like it, and I knew I'd want to distill some of that atmosphere of how people act around the dying, and how they gather."
"The Hills of California draws deeply from personal experiences, blending my childhood and true events around loss. Laura plays a matriarch echoing her own upbringing, but with added layers from my family experience, making it more complex and intimate."
