Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film's structure mirrors Henry's novel-in-progress, with chapter titles appearing on screen — a rare case where the 'unreliable narrator' device extends to the film's own editing.
Director Robert Celestino spent years developing this after his own experience with recurring trauma nightmares, originally intending it as a stage play before realizing the story needed geographic isolation.
