Since most of this script takes place inside a bathroom stall, my director, Rhys Thomas, decided right away that we’d have to build the stall on stage rather than try to shoot on location. A real stall is just too small and impractical; we needed to get a camera inside the stall, which meant pulling the stall apart. Once we pulled the trigger on a set build, we decided to build the office on stage, too.

Why the time for 4K has come | Sony
What is really making filmmakers sit up and take note is that they are beginning to understand how 4K can work for them. They are realizing how ultra high resolution images can provide viewers with a more immersive and compelling viewing experience. 4K also gives them more flexibility. Single shooters in particular, delivering on HD or even SD, now have the ability to generate multiple shots from one camera position by cropping into their 4K images.
