The majority of the film is set in Calderdale, in various residential locations on Huddersfield Road, Halifax and in Rishworth as well as exterior locations around Pellon Lane and Dean Clough.

The production office has been based out of Fletcher's Mill at Dean Clough.

The film is directed by Keith Farrell of Old Hall Films, Manchester, DOP is Mike Staniforth and Producer is Thea Burrows.

Speaking of their decision to film in Halifax, Thea said: "The decision to set our film in Halifax was made very early on.

"We love the desolate beauty, the Yorkshire grit and how the town meets the countryside. It was the perfect setting for our story of people on the fringes of society and about finding lightness in the dark."

The film is set to be released in 2021. The production also worked with the support of Screen Yorkshire, taking on eight trainees from their Beyond Brontes scheme, which exists to diversify the film and TV industry.
