Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

The Leannán Sí (fairy lover) from Irish folklore specifically targets artists, granting inspiration in exchange for a shortened, obsessive life—literally this film's entire premise.

Trivia

Elle Evans was primarily known as a model and music video star before this; her ethereal, slightly uncanny presence was apparently exactly what director John Burr envisioned for a creature that shouldn't quite read as human.
