PROJECT DETAILS:

Filmed in Yarmouth and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The film's editor confirmed recently that the movie is in black and white, saying: “It’s set in 1890, and we’re shooting on 35mm black and white stock, virtually unheard of nowadays. Most black and white movies are shot in colour, and then converted to black and white in post. The dailies look beautiful; it’s very exciting.” (5/14/18)
