Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Bobby Rubio said Float is inspired by his son, who is autistic, and that he identified with the father from the short; the boy in the short is 'different from other children' since he can float.
- Rubio's early storyboards depicted the family as Caucasian, but a co-worker suggested he make them Filipino-American instead, and he agreed to the change specifically to empower his son and other children of color.
