The film was shot in location in Vancouver, Canada, and the rest of British Columbia in the middle of a heatwave. But since the film involved a lot of rainfall in its plot, it helped the actors deal with the heat.

One of the scenes that people got interested in was the beach at the end of the film. It was filmed at the Ucluelet Peninsula, which is a municipality in Canada. The Pioneer Boatworks was transformed into a hardware store. In addition to this, the longest-running store in Ucluelet, The Crow's Nest, was turned into a bank for the film.

Lou is available to stream right now. You can watch the trailer here:
