“We decided the film was to be shot on Bali or we had no movie”,
that according to the film’s director Marc Esposito. Esposito
particularly liked what he calls 'the reality of the settings'. “The
authenticity we were able to capture by filming genuine temple
ceremonies and Balinese daily life, with very little set-up or
direction.”
Shooting 60 locations in eight weeks, BFC was able to gain access to
everything the production needed, on governmental and local levels.
“They made life very simple for us,” he says. Shooting such varied
landscapes – the sea,
volcanoes, mountains, traditional villages, temples, rice fields,
forests and beautiful multi-colored beaches – 60 locations in just
eight weeks and all located on just one island of 2,169 square
miles.All photographs
