Production

Kilby originally penned a one hundred page script that was entered into the Screenplay Competition at Beverly Hills Film Festival.[2] 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[3] for $15,000.[4] Kilby dedicated the project to his sister Peggy.[5]

Release

The film screened at Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema,[6] Indie Short Fest,[7] Global Indie Film Fest[8] and Hobnobben Film Festival.[9]
