Curiosidades
The film is dedicated to Oscar-winning production designer Paul Sylbert, a mentor of director Daniel Kremer. He died just weeks before Overwhelm the Sky went into production, in November 2016. Sylbert, who designed sets for A Face in the Crowd (1957), The Wrong Man (1956), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), among others, taught at Kremer's alma mater Temple University in Philadelphia towards the end of his life (Temple was also Sylbert's alma mater), and Kremer was his teaching assistant for many years.

Citas
Dean Van Puddy: You say hypocrisy... absolutely! You're darn tooting! Hypocrisy! It's the latest fad. It's what the cool kids are into now, right? Let's not kid ourselves. We've gone from liberte egalite fraternite, to vanite letharge hypocrise. But in the words of Lord Byron, "Let us have wine, women, mirth, and the laughter / Sermons and soda water the day after." And on that note, I'll leave you stewing into the night. So... so so so, off I go. When I'm coming back, nobody knows. Where I'm going, I kind of know. But I'm going to leave you in good hands, because my very good friend Edgar Huntly will be taking over this program. He had his own show in New York called "Talk is Cheap" - I think many of you may have heard it. Edgar, say hi to the angry insomniacs.
Edgar Huntly: Greetings, angry insomniacs. I look forward to spending more time with you.
Dean Van Puddy: There you have it folks. That's a taste of what's to come. This is Dean Van Puddy signing off. You've been listening to Fallen Territory.

Versiones alternativas
There are three cuts of this film. The first (177 minutes) is the "Roadshow-Style Edition" which opens with an Overture and includes an Intermission with Entr'acte music. The second (170 minutes) is the Standard Version which excludes the Overture and Intermission, and deletes two dramatic scenes from the body of the film, including an extra "cushion scene" between the intermission and part two. The third (124 minutes) is the Shortened Theatrical Cut, which streamlines the narrative into a simpler neo-noir. The latter version is not director Daniel Kremer's preferred cut and he prepared it for the sole purpose of making the film easier to program at American festivals.

Underwhelmed

Black & white; usually an indicator of someone making a cheap artsy noir film w/usually lots of nonsensical dialogue meant to obscure but still allow interpretation so viewers feel special. Lots of flashbacks of the same scene of a body lying on the ground in a forest. Why? Who knows. Lots of flashbacks that add nothing to a story of someone who is a radio talk show host. A chance encounter w/a homeless & a desert scene all bizarrely go nowhere.

Important point: Do we really have so much time & money that we ignore serious planetary issues to spend it on musings?
