Director Alysa Nahmias framed the film as more than a nostalgic look at cookies, noting the business side of the tradition and the broader questions it raises about ambition and growing up; Girl Scout cookie sales total about $800 million annually. After months seeking distribution, the team partnered with Roadside Attractions for a theatrical release on Aug. 7. Meghan, who was a Girl Scout with her mother as troop leader, praised the filmmaking and even revealed her favorite cookie: Thin Mints.
