What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in 22 days during the coronavirus-19 pandemic and the associated lockdown.
- The photograph of Edward with his mother on the wall in his apartment is a picture of the actor who plays him, Sebastian Stan, and his mother.
- Edward’s typewriter is a portable Olivetti Valentine mechanical typewriter, whose signature design was created by Ettore Sottsass in 1969. These typewriters are featured in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York.
- The scene in the bar, when Edward watches Oswald and Ingrid performed by Adam Pearson and Renate Reinsve respectively, was filmed in the same bar that viewers saw in Celine Song's melodrama "Past Lives" (2023). Edward even sits in the same spot where the main character played by Greta Lee sat in "Past Lives".
