After Sorrow was shot in late 2019 and edited during lockdown. The film was considered an experiment from it’s initial inception, and was shot with no screenplay or planned narrative structure. The scenes were improvised by the director - giving the actor ‘on the spot’ direction with only the central themes and a vague structure in mind. The film’s structure was then ‘found’ during the edit process, and a voiceover was recorded to provide a thread that ties the scenes together.
