Shot using a single handheld Handycam, the film embraced a bare, minimalist staging. Practical and working lights replaced traditional stage lighting, drawing focus to the acting and storytelling. This creative approach was shaped both by the challenges of producing theatre during a pandemic and by artistic inspirations—including the Dogme 95 movement and films like Dogville. Most scenes were rehearsed and roughly planned before shooting, with many filmed in one take to conserve time and preserve spontaneity.
