Storyline: A warrior travels wild expanses on horseback, pursuing the monster that murdered his daughter. His thirst for revenge is the driving force of a film constructed with very few elements, minimalistic and epic at the same time, where fantasy and horror find their more physical and gory incarnations (synopsis in the 2018 Sitges Filmfestival programme catalogue).
Chad McClellan, who served as the gaffer on the film, also played the role of the archer seen at a distance by the castle. He was the only person available on set that day.
Jordan Downey, the director of the film, also handled all of the special makeup effects and the makeup for the actors.
Composer Nick Soole approached the film's score as if it took place on a medieval planet, with the intention of creating a sense of something otherworldly and unsettling throughout the music.
The film was shot in and around the remote village of Soutelo Mourisco in the countryside of northern Portugal.
Jordan Downey discovered Cora Kaufman by reaching out to the principal at a local elementary school and inquiring about students who were interested in acting.
The film was shot in a total of 30 days.
There was no Production Designer for this film, and most of the props and sets were built and modified by Jordan Downey, Kevin Stewart, and Ricky Fosheim.
