Production
editMond told Indie Wire of his plans for the film in 2015, the year of his previous feature film James White.[2] The film stars Christopher Abbott and Jay Will.[3] Both character films his life with a mobile phone which Mond told Variety was designed to be "therapy for both of them. I wanted it to feel as real as possible, and show both characters’ perspectives."[4] The actors shot some scenes themselves, as did Alice de Matha, the films co-writer and editor, the co-producer George Beno and co-writer Oscar Bodden Gonzalez, with the shots mixed together. Mond worked for six years in collaboration with Anthony F Schepperd, as well as London-based company Blind Pig, on the animation within the film.[5]
Release
editThe film featured at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival parallel section Acid, run by France’s Association for the Diffusion of Independent Cinema (Acid).[6]
