'Come to Daddy' trivia and fun facts
Injured
Both Ant Timpson and Elijah Wood injured themselves during filming that for awhile, Ant has to continue directing while sitting on a chair with a microphone given by the sound department along with speakers put on the camera.
Crazy idea
The origin of the movie came when Ant Timpson's father passed away, his father's partner thought it was best to bring him home after embalmment as a way to spend time with the grieving family, which the week was spent with the corpse in an open coffin. Then, people that he didn't knew came to pay their respects to his father, sharing stories of a man that does not seem like his father.
Edition
When it came time to cut the film, Timpson's desire for a "simple, linear narrative" made editor Dan Kircher's job a little easier - and a lot more fun.
