Spanish-born director Eva Vives talks about her film exploring notoriety and the inevitable insecurities that follow:

"Remember Groucho Marx’s famous maxim, 'I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member'? The quote is often interpreted as an emblem of self-hatred, but he was actually withdrawing his membership from an anti-semitic social club in Beverly Hills that was 'willing' to make an exception for the great Groucho.  

"My objective with Join the Club was to explore a woman’s self-doubt. She starts out excited about having been invited to the party, so to speak, and ends up talking herself out of it—before anything has even happened. Sound familiar? If you're a woman, sadly, it probably does.  

"The film is meant to be funny and it was made with love and honesty and hard work by a group of almost all women, who it turns out had had similar reactions to similar invitations."
