Premiered at the MPI Film Festival in October 2019, where it was awarded Best Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor (for Josh Bzura).
The short film holds a very rare distinction of having two cinematographers (Shane Hillier and Andrew Sosa), who worked side by side throughout the entire production process instead of separately.
Influences on the filmmakers include the works of 20th-century modernist writer Franz Kafka, surrealist filmmakers Luis Buñuel and Robert Downey Sr., as well as the films Greed (1924), Vampyr (1932), Ugetsu (1953), Barton Fink (1991), and The Night of the Hunter (1955).
The ending argument between the Writer and Producer was heavily improvised by actors Ted E. Dee and Josh Bzura.
