Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director Luke Lorentzen edited the film as he was shooting for 60-70 nights over the course of 3 years. By the end of 2017 a locked cut was finished and submitted to Sundance, but the film got rejected. This made Lorentzen think that there might be more of a story to tell, so he went back to Mexico City to shoot for another 2 1/2 weeks, where ultimately ~80% of what ended up in the finished film was shot.
