“There was so much during our quarantine days that could get you down, and I found myself writing about those things but trying to look at the lighter side of it all. Even in tough times, we can all find a little bit of humor in life,” said Isaak. “Jack was certainly a highlight of my quarantine so I’m thrilled he’s getting his first acting credits in the video.”​
