What's left behind the scenes

  • According to director and screenwriter Clint Bentley, only a few trees were actually felled during the filming of the movie. Scenes depicting the characters felling trees were shot using props made of wood and fiberglass, and with the use of special effects.
  • The film owes some of its details – such as the use of a third-person narrative – to the dramas of François Truffaut, 'Jules and Jim' (1962), and Alfonso Cuarón, 'Y Tu Mamá También' (2001).
  • Initially, director and screenwriter Clint Bentley and cinematographer Adolfo Veloso considered shooting the film on film, but ultimately shot it digitally.
  • According to cinematographer Adolfo Veloso, he and the film's director, Clint Bentley, chose the unconventional aspect ratio of 3:2 because it was widely used for photographs at the beginning of the 20th century and is still used in smartphones. With this decision, Adolfo and Clint aimed to simulate the feeling of real memories captured in photographs and reflecting the lives of real people. The 3:2 aspect ratio also works better for filming tall trees.
  • According to cinematographer Adolfo Veloso, ARRI ALEXA 35 cameras were used during the filming of the movie. Daytime scenes were shot using Kowa Prominar Spherical lenses, and Adolfo noted that he chose these lenses because of their unique texture and beautiful flares. Zeiss Super Speed MKII lenses, which offer higher light sensitivity, were used for shooting nighttime scenes, as the filmmakers did not want to change the camera's sensitivity settings for low-light shooting.
  • According to operator Adolfo Veloso, 99% of the scenes in the film were shot using natural lighting.
  • At the 56th minute of the film, when Robert approaches the playing puppies, a contrail can be noticed in the sky in the upper left corner of the frame.
