Directors notes on YIELD:
The action in Yield is a self-perceived situation. I felt frustrated when I clashed with people no matter how much I tried to avoid it (or even more when I tried to avoid it). But then I was fascinated, how it is almost supernatural how it happens. I wanted to take the smallest annoying little detail of anyone’s life and make it huge and overwhelming. Forcing someone to act. I don’t think we need big life and death events to create interesting drama. Instead it’s about the character’s perspective. Under the right circumstances, a small petitess can trigger strong emotions in our animal brain.
