Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The real Steve Driver was a struggling actor who used porn to fund 'legitimate' roles, mirroring the film's meta-layer. Director Lucas Heyne spent years researching the 2009 murder case before shooting.

Cultural

The film premiered at Sundance 2019, where audiences famously walked out during graphic scenes — which Heyne considered a badge of honor for authenticity.
