Funding for the project was provided by eight people via Indiegogo and one angel donor, giving it a budget of $2,245. The principal photography took place between July 1st and August 20th, 2013. The first cut of the film was completed on September 18th, 2013 (which was initially supposed to be for the Sundance and Slamdance Film Festivals), and the final theatrical cut was completed on October 1st, 2013.[1]

The film was not approved by Sundance or Slamdance and did not get distribution by a studio.

On May 11th, 2014, it was screened at The Moxie Cinema in Springfield, Missouri.
