Production history
In researching the Fitzgeralds' Westport period, co-writers Robert Steven Williams and local historian, Richard Deej Webb, spent seven years researching and interviewing scholars about the little-known Westport period. Eleanor Lanahan, one of Scott and Zelda's grandchildren is interviewed in the film.

Inspired by an article written by former Westport resident Barbara Probst Solomon, she was the first to discern the origins of Gatsby in Connecticut. She is featured in the documentary.

Although The Great Gatsby is one of the most researched pieces of American literature, Professor James West, the leading Fitzgerald authority appears in the documentary stating that Williams and Webb's research had made a great contribution to the Fitzgerald scholarship.

Two years prior to the documentary's release, The New York Times wrote about the research of Williams and Webb. The film was completed in 2020 and was accepted into twenty domestic and international film festivals.
