Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The entire film was shot in six days on a micro-budget, with many scenes improvised around Kennedy's actual relationships with the cast.
The title 'Haar' refers to sea mist that rolls into coastal Scotland—here used metaphorically for the hazy, half-remembered quality of Jef's connections to people and place.
