Mills, who is gay, wrote Guidance as a satirical spin on his own history as a child actor, centring the screenplay on a character whose backstory is similar to his own but who has much more dysfunctional ways of dealing with his insecurities. Having not taken an acting role since 1994, he had to pay almost ten years worth of back ACTRA dues in order to act in his own film. His performance was nominated for a 2015 ACTRA Award.

Don't Talk to Irene went into production in 2016 as Mills' second film, and is slated to premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
