Production

Obselidia was loosely inspired by several films, with Diane Bell saying:

This movie is born from a deep love of movies, so there are literally thousands of inspirations. A few of the key touchstones: for the look of the film, Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas and François Truffaut's The Man Who Loved Women; for driving scenes on a low budget, the great B-movie, Gun Crazy; for cycling, Jules et Jim; for romance, Woody Allen's Annie Hall and Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise.

Principal photography took place in Death Valley Junction, Ballarat, Los Angeles, and Santa Monica, California.
