"I think in general what people are going to like most about it is it gives you an escape from the world in which we live," Landau says. The film "gives you an opportunity to be transported to another world where you get to experience things that are fun and exciting."

"In fact, what we were waiting for was the technology for the close-up...movies aren't about scale and scope, movies are about the characters that you put in the center of them.

"So instead of using a marker-based process as movies have done in the past, we used an image-board process where the performances of our actors are photographed and we look at those photographs on a frame-by-frame, almost a pore-by-pore level and extract from that a performance."
