Ask the press officeThe production in its own words, the kit, and the way to a screening.
The film was shot in order, on foot, with a crew small enough to carry what it needed.
Every morning began with forty minutes of usable light. The camera was loaded the night before and nothing was lit that the sun did not light. The slate for the first shot read SR 001 A.
No road reaches it. The unit walked in with mules and stayed nine weeks.
Because the valley is mostly horizon, and the horizon needs the room.
All of it. There is no studio day in the schedule.
No. It runs 127 minutes in one piece.
