Production

Rouzbeh Rashidi made this film with a low budget and total cast and crew of three people including the actor and actress. There wasn't any script or pre-writing planning for this film and all the shots were taken only one time without any rehearsal but occasionally Rashidi gave his actors notes to read in order to provoke certain feelings and then filmed the scene straight away. Rouzbeh Rashidi shot the three main segments of the film in only four days but the inserts and pillow shots were taken over a full year in various parts of Ireland.

''Bipedality'' premiered in London Underground Film Festival in December 2010.
