The scenes were shot on the 150 metre stretch of the long course in order to film several river scenes which were stitched together to make one longer continuous scene. This was all made possible because the centre had the ability to simulate extreme water conditions such as waves and rapids in a controlled environment.
In a recent interview with Indiewire, Oscar®-winning cinematographer Roger Deakins known for The Shawshank Redemption, No Country for Old Men and Blade Runner 2049, spoke about filming at Tees Barrage and how it was all made possible by building a road out of scaffolding to follow the water flow in order to follow George Mackay down the course.
