Director Mathew J. Wilkinson wanted to make this as more of a horror film, but because it was being produced through a University he was instructed to make it more of a drama. As a result Wilkinson felt the project never fully 'worked' and simply considered it a 'learning curve.'
The film was completed in early 2010 and new scenes were shot at the end of 2011 because director Mathew J. Wilkinson was never happy with the final cut. He had to wait because of budget restrictions.
The film was shot in 14 days with only two days of pick-ups. All the locations were owned by friends or family of the crew.
Donnie only ever wears black and white. He wears white at the start of the film and black for the rest. Amy only wears purple or red, with the exception of her black work shirt.
The setting for the film takes place during December 2008, as seen in Donnie's vehicle dashboard. Director Mathew J. Wilkinson set it during this time in connection with the economic recession occurring at the time.
