Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Riley Polanski, who plays the autistic son, actually has autism — director Matty Beckerman cast him after meeting his family at a restaurant. The 'ticking' device was his real comfort object on set.
The Brown Mountain Lights have been documented since 1913, with Cherokee legends predating European settlement. The film uses genuine local news footage of unexplained light phenomena that still draw UFO tourists annually.
