Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Insight

The 69-minute runtime is almost unheard of for feature dramas—it's either bold confidence or budget necessity, but it forces every scene to justify its existence.

Cultural

Released in 2019, this quietly joined a wave of indie queer cinema exploring rural masculinity and illness—think 'God's Own Country' meets 'The Rider' but with half the budget and twice the earnestness.
