After the latter video was posted on July 24th, 2018, Walker's series began seeing coverage from news outlets, including Paste[1] and Dazed Digital,[2] the latter of which interviewed Walker. There, she explained the idea for the first short came from an Oscars party where two of her friends dressed in early 20th century British fashion and told people they were both The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game.
