"We pulled the whole team together, favour for favour, building something in what honestly felt like the most expensive place on earth. It wasn’t some big production machine, it was just people showing up for each other.
We knew we could count on ZEP for going all in. He always does. Longtime friend, longtime partner. It’s never a heavy ask, it’s just understood.
So we kept it small with mostly friends. When the hours got long, and they did, it didn’t feel transactional but moreso felt shared. The whole thing leaned hard on performance, on effective props, SFX, things that work because people commit time, not because they cost a lot.
Just figuring this weird film out together trough the process of driving down in LA living together for a month. We had such a blast. " Joachim Spruijt, director & editor
