The entire crew camped out in Northern Arizona during the production of the film.
The writer/director Roze ate a live bark beetle while preparing for the film.
Deadfall Trail (2009) came about when Roze and Robert D. Guthrie were unable to find complete funding for another project. Faced with taking a loss or using the money they had managed to find, they tailored a movie to the budget they had available.
Shot in sixteen days.
