Easter Eggs
Real Footage of Maud Lewis
The film credits feature actual black-and-white documentary footage of the real Maud and Everett Lewis. This grounds the film in reality and shows the incredible likeness achieved by the actors.
The Screen Door Flies
In the scene where Maud asks for a screen door, the flies buzzing around are real. The production crew reportedly hatched thousands of flies to make the infestation look authentic to the poverty of the time.
