The Empty was shot entirely in Miami, Florida.
The apartment building set of the Empty was built entirely by directors Robert J. Escandon, Ulises Franco, actress Ashley Cortes, co-producer Cameron Rabie and producer/actor Tremain Brown.
During a severe storm in Miami, the set of The Empty collapsed pushing the production back 2 months while it was rebuilt.
Second Director Ulises Franco died in a car accident right after the film finished principal photography.
