Trivia

Things worth knowing

• 184 minutes exactly — the "classic feature" runtime most directors aim for.
• 2Released 11 years ago.
• 3Directed by Ronna Gradus, shot by Ronna Gradus. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
• 4Original score by Daniel Ahearn. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
• 5Editor Brittany Huckabee shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
• 6Stella May and Brian Omally and Ava Taylor carry the top of the cast.
• 7Marketing tagline: "Porn, the internet and the girl next door.".
• 8IMDB entry: tt4382552 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
