Trivia

Director Ty Hodges shot this in 12 days on a microbudget, casting himself opposite Olivia Culpo, a former Miss Universe with zero prior dramatic roles.

Cultural

The title references the Björk song, and like her work, the film treats emotional volatility as aesthetic experience—love it or hate it.
