Production

Following two delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was announced in March 2021 when it was revealed production would take place in Los Angeles, California and Fort Wayne, Indiana.[1] In May 2021, it was reported that principal photography had begun in areas around California, including L.A. and Orange County.[3] Filming moved to Fort Wayne on May 22 for five days before concluding on May 26, 2021.[1] On the location choice, Matt Berman explained that his decision was based on a dinner he had with Fort Wayne Architect Michael Gouloff, where Berman said he wanted to film it in L.A. and his wife responded by saying, "You need to make the movie in Fort Wayne, Indiana."[4]

Release

The film premiered in Fort Wayne on November 12, 2021.[5]
