We remember getting off work and driving past Highway 140 at like 1 in the morning. We passed a sign that said Canton 12 and it reminded us of an idea for a film ending we had. We wanted 99% of the film to be handheld. Handheld, to us, feels raw, natural, gritty, unpolished, and deeply rooted in authenticity. Eventually we started piecing story concepts together.
