Director Ian Bawa drew inspiration from a poignant 10-second scene in Trainspotting 2, and wrote the script as a form of personal therapy after his own father's death.
The film's haunting shadow effect, used to represent the mother's lingering presence, was achieved through practical, on-set techniques that created a more eerie and visceral result than CGI could have.
