Emil worked with a consultant for authentic movement and blocking. Kieran shot handheld in certain environments and they were awarded a grant from Panavision for winning HollyShorts with another film in 2020. The choice of handheld made the world more accessible & told a specific visual language. Can’t make it to the festival in person?
