Key Quote: “The fact that Newfoundland plays such a huge role in the script was a massive selling point for me because I thought this can’t be real this place can’t exist in this way,” said Hartnett. “On the edge of Canada, still in North America and yet somehow so removed from what we are experiencing in our somewhat homogenized society these days. I thought the more we could bring these people into this world and this beautiful family on the edge of the world, it would be a remarkable place to set this type of story.”
