Production

The film was announced in January 2021, with Carey Mulligan starring in the film and Christos Nikou directing, marking his English language debut. Mulligan joined the project upon watching and being impressed by Nikou's previous film Apples.[1] No further developments would be announced until May 2022, when Jessie Buckley and Riz Ahmed were cast in the film, with Buckley replacing Mulligan.[2] Apple Original Films would also acquire the rights to the film that same month.[3] In September, Jeremy Allen White joined the cast.[4] Luke Wilson and Annie Murphy would be added to the cast in December.[5]

Principal photography commenced in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario[6] at the end of October 2022 and wrapped that December.[7][8]
