Initial filming took place four days before North Carolina's Covid-19 stay-at-home order was issued, and was then postponed. The five-day shoot ultimately took place over five separate months, during March, July, October, November and December 2020.
Although production took place during the height of the 2020 'pandemic,' none of the actors, including those in the riot scene, were ever afflicted by the virus.
Production was delayed due to ensuing fallout from the death of George Floyd.
