This film was an entry for the 24-Hour Golden Grizzly Film Challenge at Oakland University. After the group had two failed attempts with two different ideas for their submission, they were ready to give up on the challenge and call it quits. It wasn't until suggesting doing a horror film that the group decided to give it one last shot. The film went on to win Best Film and Best Performance (Revon Yousif).
The film was shot in 45 minutes.
One of the requirements of this challenge was to shoot the film entirely on the Oakland University campus. Amnesia was fully shot in a corner of a classroom.
