"The script was very imaginative, and normally, with the challenging budget we have, the go-to option is to do everything with chroma key in the studio. But we decided to shoot everything in camera on locations 3000 miles away with a small crew and use minimal post to create a concrete feeling out of the given absurdist scenarios. Building a house entrance set on top of a local building was very insane, simply because we wanted the backdrop to be real mountains and sky." Zhang Shihao, director
