Dedicated to legendary actor and filmmaker Robert Redford. The film Ordinary People (1980) and the dealings of a couple who experienced the death of a child were paramount in the composition of the piece.
Influenced by Todd Field's In The Bedroom (2001). The concept stuck with the director since first viewing the work decades earlier.
The non-linear/piece by piece narrative style was, quite ironically, intentional due to the similar fate of several characters in the story.
