Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film weaponizes Walden's professional invisibility — he's trained to record, not intervene, making his violent turn a perversion of that discipline.
Emile Hirsch learned basic stenography for the role, though the machine sounds were enhanced in post to feel more ominous.
