This short was commissioned by HBO's Project Greenlight (second season) as one of their top finalist videos. Daniel Roemer, the director, was one of tens of thousands of submissions, narrowed down to 50, to create another film for the show's final line-up. The following year he would also go on to create another film and qualify as a top finalist, revealing the show's affinity for his filmmaking.
Other team members include long time DP William Del Rosario and Producer Christina Lee Storm (who production managed Oscar-winning film The Artist).
