The Film was heavily inspired by The Road (2009) using both pieces from the score and some dialogue in the opening voice overs.
The entire short was filmed in a single day across 4 different locations.
It was planned from the start to release the film on Halloween of 2019.
The idea to make Moonbay's voice overs a tape recorder came in post production. Director Matt Colvin felt using a tape recorder versus clean audio would be more effective as it would sound like an audio journal.
The bracelet worn by the Lone Man is a Hunter Warrior Bracelet from Alita Battle Angel.
