While researching his screenplay, Remi Weekes was struck by how many immigrants were sold on coming to the United Kingdom because it's the land of Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and the royal family. In reality, for immigrants, it's grey concrete housing estates in deprived areas, something that he wanted to visually bring to his film.
"His House" marks the full-length directorial debut for Remi Weeks.
Premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival in January, showing on Netflix 10 months later.
The scene in Mark's (Matt Smith) office was shot in Basildon town centre, Essex. The house the main characters were moved to is in Tilbury, Essex.
