Divinity is a 2023 American science fiction film written and directed by Eddie Alcazar in his directorial debut, and starring Stephen Dorff, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Karrueche Tran, Michael O'Hearn, Emily Willis, Scott Bakula, and Bella Thorne.

Production

Steven Soderbergh and Eddie Alcazar announced in September 2021 that they were collaborating on a new film with Alcazar directing and Soderbergh producing, and Soderbergh serving as executive producer. In April 2022, Scott Bakula and Bella Thorne joined the cast, and DJ Muggs would compose the music.

Instead of the traditional pre-production, production and post-production process, Alcazar attempted to do everything all at once, writing and editing through a series of seven different shoots over a year. During the breaks, Alcazar shot a portion of the film, edited for 2–3 months and shot again, while also rewriting the script and begin production with the actors to implement the changes.

Alcazar attempted to use film stock for shooting the film in black-and-white formats, despite the logistical challenges as use of film stocks in feature films were quite obsolete. Having acquired the Vision2 and Vision3 stocks from Kodak, he and cinematographer Danny Hiele shot the entire film on 16mm black-and-white reversal, which was rarely used and generated extremely high contrast.

For filming the epic climatic action sequence, Alcazar was initially skeptic due to monetary constraints and the reduced number of crew being unable to film the scene at a massive scale. Hence, he used the stop motion technique for the extended fight scene. Alcazar had to plan that scene because he could not do multiple takes in stop motion. To make it more efficient, he used the Metascope concept which he did in The Vandal.
