In a 2022 interview with Factual America Podcast, Shaunak Sen spoke of the intent behind the film's visual style: "The idea was to shoot it not like a regular nature doc or wildlife doc, but make it cinematic... We took our time. We wanted to shoot it like a proper high art film and not like a wildlife doc, so we committed ourselves to the visual grammar of it."
The title was suggested by the producer after it was said by one of the brothers during filming.
