The film was produced by Jean de Meuron and Giuseppe Mercadante, with Olcun Tan producing the VFX. Once the script was ready and with the lookbook in hand director Greg Strasz, Giuseppe Mercadante and Jean de Meuron pitched the idea to several leading industry vendors. Companies like RED Digital Cinema, Helinet Aviation, International Studio Services, Dolby and Gradient Effects believed in their vision and decided to support their project.[2] The script was written by Giuseppe Mercadante and Greg Strasz on a story written by Jean de Meuron, Giuseppe Mercadante and Greg Strasz.

The film was shot in 3 days at RED Digital Cinema Hollywood Studios, Helinet Aviation, the Los Angeles River, and Venice Beach.
