Adrian Tofei, who came from a background in method acting and theatre (Ion Cojar's method), partially improvised the movie in his hometown on a limited budget as director, producer, writer, lead actor, cinematographer, editor and other jobs usually performed by a film crew, he never used a camera before in his life, had no crew present during shootings other than him and the actresses, partially lived in character, met the actresses for the first time in character with the camera on and kept only first takes in the final cut. A language switch was used during filming to ensure the safety of everyone involved: speaking English meant everyone is interacting in character, and speaking Romanian meant everyone returns to be being themselves (with a few exceptions when the characters had to speak Romanian). Filming was preceded by months of preparation via emails between Adrian Tofei and the three actresses.
