Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Co-director Gigi Saul Guerrero is a leading voice in Mexican-Canadian horror, using genre to weaponize border politics long before it was trendy. This predates her Shudder fame by years.
The mask design was built around actor Edwin Pérez's actual facial structure—meaning he spent hours in prosthetics for a short that most people discover at 2am on YouTube.
