Interesting facts

Flora is a 2017 Canadian independent science fiction thriller and historical drama written and directed by Sasha Louis Vukovic. He sought to "make a movie which is not about a bunch of kids running from a horrible slasher". The film follows a group of students on a university botany expedition as they try to survive and avoid exposure to an unknown pathogen.

Production

The film was privately funded by Vukovic’s family and friends, with a micro-budget estimated at $100,000 USD (or $120,000 CAD). Despite a budget of only $2000 for props, Vukovic was able to obtain props appropriate to the 1920s through eBay and a Canadian historian, Alan Skeoch. One of Vukovik's family members owns a 1931 Ford A Tudor which was featured in the opening of the film.

Principal photography was carried out over six weeks from June 29 through August 16, 2015. Post-production was completed on October 1, 2016. Filming was performed in Val-Jalbert, a preserved ghost town in Québec, as well as Ottawa and Manitoulin Island in Ontario. Post-production was performed at Eggplant Picture & Sound in Toronto and completed on October 1, 2016.
