Elliot Reed’s Pull was filmed in Slovakia at Pajštún castle with Susanne Songi Greim. In a rental car, they drove across the Austrian border. After hiking up the mountain for over an hour with bags full of supplies, they wove into the trees and landscape surrounding the castle, drawing into the hill and melting ice just before sunset.

The project was filmed January 2020 and edited between March and May of 2021.
