The film is created by The Pad Project, an organisation established by a group of students at the Oakwood School in Los Angeles and their teacher, Melissa Berton.

In her acceptance speech, Rayka Zehtabchi poked fun at the film subject saying, “I’m not crying because I’m on my period or anything. I can’t believe a film on menstruation won an Oscar”.
