To document the native grit and vitality of the city of Tangier portraying the city of Beirut, director Brad Anderson enlisted Belgian cinematographer Bjorn Charpentier to serve as the film's director of photography. Winner of the Cannes Grand Prix award for his Leica television commercial "Iconic", Charpentier readily embraced Anderson's rough-hewn aesthetic. "Brad wanted Beirut to be dark and dirty and fast, not too clean like an American movie but more European style," said Charpentier, who studied Roger Deakins' hand-held camera work in the U.S.A-Mexico border thriller 'Sicario' (2015) as a model of taut filmmaking. "Brad wanted to shoot everything handheld with two cameras so we could stay with the actors' energy and keep on rolling."
