TESTIMONIALS
It was amazing to be able to capture Sri Lanka, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria all within one country. We were able to find locations that felt distinct. We spent many, many months recreating all the different war zones, researching them and trying to mimic, as much as possible, what they looked like and felt like
Matthew Heineman
Director
We settled on Jordan as it was the most realistic and offered us lots of varied landscapes to harness in the design process
Sophie Becher
Production Designer
Jordan has just been the most welcoming country and everybody’s has been sweet and nice and everywhere we go to shoot people have just welcomed us with open arms.
