Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Divinity (2023)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Eddie Alcazar's directorial debut was made without a script; he said he was trusted to do his own thing, so he started drawing and sketching ideas instead of writing a screenplay.
- Instead of a normal production, writer-director Eddie Alcazar shot Divinity in seven separate bursts over a year, editing for two to three months between them and rewriting the script with his actors each time.
- The crew shrank steadily across those shoots, from around 50 people at the start to just five crew members present for one of the scenes.
- Money limits and his shrunken crew stopped Eddie Alcazar from filming the climactic action sequence at scale, so he used stop motion for the extended fight and planned it out because multiple takes were impossible.
- Eddie Alcazar and cinematographer Danny Hiele shot the entire film on Kodak Vision2 and Vision3 16mm black-and-white reversal stock, a rarely used format that produced extremely high contrast.
