Production

In 2015, the Tisch School of the Arts' $100,000 Sloan First Feature Film Prize was awarded to graduate student Shawn Snyder to produce his screenplay, To Dust. Snyder himself called the film a dark comedy, and talked about how his Reform Judaism background informed the story:

I have an ongoing journey with my Judaism that waxes and wanes. As a spiritual seeker myself, the movie is about how to find our own personal meanings and build our own rituals around it. That lifelong and continuing journey is largely what the film is about, our right to grieve, to find meaning in that loss, and to have conversations with the cultures we come from.

To Dust was produced by Ron Perlman and Josh Crook's Wing and a Prayer Pictures, Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola's King Bee Productions, and Scott Floyd Lochmus. The original music was composed by Ariel Marx.
