Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title 'Pu Ekaw Tnod' backwards is 'Don't Wake Up' — Culverhouse hid the entire premise in plain sight.
The casting of 'Me' and 'You' wasn't conceptual until post-production; the names were placeholders that Culverhouse kept when she realized the film was about every relationship watching itself collapse.
