We used only three Ultra primes lenses, 16, 40, and 85mm - and a Red Weapon camera - used hollywoodblack magic 1/4 and 1/8 for filtration and minimal lighting - mostly a joker 800 bounced and just a 1x1 lite panel. We had a really beautiful house to shoot in. Added film grain in post - gorilla grain - just to take some of the digital edge off.

Why not shoot on the Sony F35? Because we wanted to shoot up to 100 FPS. And why not the Alexa or Amira? - Because, wait maybe I could have scrounged one up from someone - oh well - we still got out of the old red one mx some really nice stuff and I don’t think people will be commenting that in the comment section - but maybe they will - so let’s see! It's not as nice of a camera, but it's something. It will do just fine.

Anh was a really amazing director to work with - and the whole production was really great. Anh has a special certain sensitivity to actor’s performances that was refreshing and also has a really great visual eye and knack for visual design. I was honored to work on this film.
