Paranoia was shot over two nights in March of 2024 in a London apartment location courtesy of Amazing Space.

This was DISAUTHORITY’s first collaboration with Panavision, Greenkit and Facilities by ADF that started a long term partnership with each company.

Paranoia is part of the Festival Formula’s slate.
