LOCATION

Principal Phtography took place in La Grande, Oregon, a scenic rural mountain town 4 hours east of Portland.

Director of Photography Eric Macey and 2nd Unit DP T.G. Firestone come from a background of working with acclaimed auteur Kelly Reichart (Showing Up, Certain Women). Their work gives an irreplicable visual flavor to every shot, embracing the winter exterior light.

H. Nelson Tracey first visited La Grande through attending the Eastern Oregon Film Festival (EOFF) with his award-winning short films. 

In May of 2021, the festival launched the Eastern Oregon Filmmaker Residency program. Tracey was one of the inaugural participants selected to participate, developing a screenplay set in this region that would become Breakup Season. Time spent writing in La Grande gives the film’s location a distinctive grit that would not have been achieved without immersive time on location.
