Production
Kilby originally penned a one hundred page script that was entered into the Screenplay Competition at Beverly Hills Film Festival. Years later he realized it was worth rewriting as a smaller project and set up a GoFundMe to fund the film with a micro budget. The rewritten forty page project was shot over twenty days for $15,000. Kilby dedicated the project to his sister Peggy.
Release
The film screened at Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema, Indie Short Fest, Global Indie Film Fest and Hobnobben Film Festival.
