"I’ve shot very dark noir films, I’ve shot comedies and every genre in between. This one felt like everything mixed into one.

“The moment I received the offer for this film, I knew how I wanted to shoot it and that it shouldn’t feature special, innovative, or flamboyant camera movements. My aim in this film was differentiation. With numerous characters, I used anamorphic or spherical elements – depth, curvature, and distortions – to distinguish each character.”
