Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Lighthouse:
The movie is set in 1890 and was filmed on 35 mm black and white Double-X 5222 film stock, augmenting the Panavision Millennium XL2 camera with vintage Baltar lenses designed in the 1930s. To enhance the image, making it resemble early photography, a custom cyan filter made by Schneider Filters that emulated the look and feel of orthochromatic film from the late 19th century was used.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
