Filming wrapped by late September. Interviews with the cast revealed the location work influenced character portrayals, Carson described the scenery as emotionally resonant, while Mylchreest noted that Oxford’s atmosphere helped shape his performance.

The choice to film in these real-world locations underlines the production’s effort to ground the movie in place and mood, rather than using studio sets.
