Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This dropped in 2021 when 'pandemic horror' felt either too soon or exactly right — audiences were split on whether they wanted art processing what they were still living through.

Trivia

Eleven directors total, most never met in person during production — the entire film was coordinated through Zoom calls and file transfers, making the 'isolation' theme literally baked into the production DNA.
