Alex and Paloma used to share an apartment in Belsize Park, an upscale section of North London back in 2004. They lived very close to Garland's father and mother. In one of the interviews, Paloma revealed Alex can be "distracted and difficult and weird to be around".

However, the screenwriter tries to keep a clear distinction between his work and home lives. Meanwhile, Garland himself claimed his productivity tends to rise during daylight hours, which sometimes can turn into an obsession as he gets fixated on writing and does not leave home for days.

The Toymaker’s Secret will be Garland's first attempt into a family-friendly material, while it's Baeza's first foray into directing live action.
