Trivia
Co-editor Linnea Saasen never edited a film before and taught herself effects by learning through internet forums: "Alex [Alex Holdridge] and Robert [Robert Murphy, the cinematographer] were editing and I was like, I should also because it will be faster if I can help too. I went on Lynda.com and I learned how to edit and of course, after hundreds of hours of editing, you become pretty good at it. (...) I always have that attitude [where] I think that I can do it, whatever it is. When it's about sky replacement or any kind of visual effect, just go to video co-pilot or linda.com and listen to a ten-year-old kid from Ohio that tells you how you do it. Attention to detail [is very important to me] - I want things to look good." Co-editor Alex Holdridge: "She was faster than we were and we liked her assemblies better. There's millions of filmmakers out there doing the same thing, getting on YouTube, 'How do we make that? How do we do that?'"[Interview with Stephen Saito, 2015]

A truly romantic movie

Great cinematography, wonderful setting. A very well written love story. I do believe that it has been underrated in its reviews. Grab a glass of wine, a snack and spend an evening watching it. You won't be disappointed. The plot is well developed and the story itself well arched. I found the female lead to be convincing without over doing the drama. The musical score could have been better but the story alone makes up for the superficial aspects. This movie was a labor of love unlike some of the large commercial productions. It's a rare treat when a work like this makes it to the big screen. It's a movie with its own bragging rights.it is a wonderful date movie. A unique piece of cinema. I found it intriguing enough to watch twice. Humble and lovely.
