The film's director-writer Andrew Bourne draws from his real-life experiences at a Georgia church camp, including a full-size loaf of bread Jesus, to create a lighthearted take on LGBTQ+ themes that often feature trauma in other depictions.
Despite the progressive acceptance shown by the camp's leadership, the reviewer notes their own experience suggests the reality would likely be public shaming and ejection for any LGBTQ+ camper, suggesting that times may not have changed as much as the film portrays.
