Production[edit]
"Working on The Eye has been incredibly special, and it entered my life at the exact moment it was supposed to. Working with an entirely female-led team for the first time has been beyond magical. As an artist who has always loved collaborating, being part of this creative sisterhood has been a powerful experience. The storytelling is truly unique, and I take great pride in being a part of it".
The film was reportedly shot in Athens and Corfu in late October 2022.[4][6][7]
