Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Jon Corum shot this in his actual Indiana hometown, using real locations from his childhood — the sawmill is a family friend's property.
The 68-minute runtime was deliberate: Corum wanted the discomfort of 'something missing,' mirroring how grief truncates stories we expected to be longer.
