FAQ
Are meals included?
Yes. All meals, snacks, and beverages will be provided throughout the retreat. From sunrise coffee to dinner on the final evening, you’ll be fully taken care of.
Are there any additional costs?
No hidden fees. The only potential extras are travel-related (such as flights or optional hotel upgrades). Once you’ve secured your ticket, everything else is covered—including wardrobe styling, model fees, production, location access, meals, and transportation between sets.
What happens if it rains?
Rain dates are reserved for May 28–29. Because this production relies heavily on natural light and cinematic outdoor scenes, we do not proceed in poor weather. Your experience will be rescheduled in full—never downsized or rushed.
→ Tickets are non-refundable but fully transferrable.
